00:04Hi guys, I'm Chloe with Refinery29, and today we'll be making a neon necklace.
00:09I was inspired by so many pieces on Pinterest right now that are mixing
00:12plastic and bright colors, so this is my take on it. Let's get started.
00:17What you'll need is a piece of plastic, a chain, gems, a pen, exacto knife, pliers, scissors, and a glue
00:28gun.
00:29For the first step, I'm going to go ahead and cut out a piece of plastic, and I'm going to
00:33use this old cosmetic bag,
00:35but any type of plastic will work. So I'm going to go ahead and cut the side out, use my
00:42exacto knife,
00:43and just do a little slit, and then go in with my scissors and cut a piece out.
00:48So now I have my piece of plastic. I'm going to go ahead and draw a hexagon shape on it,
00:53and it doesn't have to be too precise.
00:54You can use a ruler if you want. I'm just going to freehand it. So I'm going to go ahead
01:00and cut it out.
01:01Now I'm going to take my gems and arrange them on the plastic, and then begin gluing them on.
01:14So once the gems are secure and let them sit for a little while, now you're going to go ahead
01:18and take your chain.
01:20I have this one from Forever 21 that I just snipped in half, and I have the clasp at the
01:24bottom here, so I'm going to lay that out.
01:27And then take my exacto knife, and I'm going to be doing two small slits in the plastic right on
01:33the edges on the sides there.
01:35You'll want to go ahead and open up the end of the chain here with your pliers, and then we're
01:42going to be looping it through the plastic.
01:46Go ahead and just pinch it shut.
01:49And then once you've secured that other side, you're all done, and you have a great neon piece that's perfect
01:54for spring.
02:09So I've just removed all of my makeup.
02:12Very excited to be on the internet with no makeup.
02:13Great job.
