DIY WHITE COLLAR NECKLACE
19th September 2011
You need:
Rhinestone necklace, spray paint. I paid a bit more for the necklace I used because I was taken by the shape of the design, but I am sure you can get more basic ones from dress up stores and dollar shops.
How to:
1. Either outside or in a well ventilated area, lay the necklace on some newspaper.
2. Spray it lightly. I do mine by doing a number of light coats, letting it dry for a few minutes in between so that the spray doesn’t pool on the surface.
3. Leave to dry overnight.
And you’re done! I actually did another layer of non-toxic spray varnish on mine, but I don’t think that’s essential.
I wore this necklace last weekend with denim and pink and it was very very cute. I’m in the process of making a range of other colours which I absolutely cannot wait to show you.
That is a really innovative and creative take on the collar necklace. Simple yet stunning

Whaaaa??? You just blew my mind. When you posted that picture earlier that week I had this whole complex bead weaving pattern going in my head… and then I was like “but where did she get beads that look kind of like Legos???”
Love it.

Love this!
What an amazing DIY–sometimes subtle (covering up bling) is by far the way to go =)
Love this idea of how to transform a piece! Cute outfit too!
That looks great! Turns gaudy costume jewelry into a funky and chic statement necklace. Great DIY!
That looks so chic! What a great improvement!

As a long time collector of vintage rhinestone jewelry- I really hope this was something new and cheap. You may have ruined something of true value as well as historical beauty.
Hey guys, thanks so much for your lovely comments on this necklace, I am so glad you like it. I have another coloured one in the works too which I am looking forward to sharing with you.
To the collector of vintage necklaces – this one was new, and although not cheap it wasn’t valuable in a historical sense.

I love these images and the necklace. So qute!! Looks immensely stylish and elegant. Brilliant designs and complete collection of fashionable women’s accessories. There is, of course, certain elegance in discretion, but sometimes more is more….

Hey I saw this tutorial, and I immediately thought about using Neon spray paint like the Sass&Bide RTW– and then I saw that you mentioned them in the previous post! Great minds think alike!
