MY DIY | Bright Chain Jewelry
DIY PROJECT, Jewelry DIY
After a reader tweeted me about Plasti-dip, I immediately bought some and got to dippin’. After seeing these bold necklaces, I knew I wanted to create a half metal/half plastic version. I must admit that the plastic coating is some serious stuff and should only be handled by adults in a well ventilated area, but I was pretty stoked with the final product.
Supplies:
Plasti-dip and color tint
Chain necklace or bracelet
Aluminum can (I use one for peanuts, note that plastic will not work, the Plasti-dip will eat through it)
Plastic spoon
How To:
Mix your first color by pouring 1/4 of the Plasiti-dip into the peanut container
Then add some coloring and mix with the spoon till you reach your desired color
Next dip your chain in, then let excess drip off for at least a minute
Continue to hold and let harden for 5 minutes
Before wearing, let sit overnight to completely dry.
Mix additional colors in a new container.

Oh my God that’s fantastic! But you live in New York and you have a place to find everything for you DIYs, I live in Lucca and I have no place to go! 🙁 Poor me, I would like to DIY but I have no shop to go! 🙁
Btw, if I can find all the things, I will do that for sure! Great, great idea!! 🙂

Do you think this would work with nail polish? Or is that not flexible enough?
Cool!

What a great idea.

It is a great idea!
So beautiful 😉
This is great! Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. But, I have a question, what happens in the areas where the two links meet? Does the PlastiDip gather in the creases? If so, does it make the chain less pliable?
I immediately had the same questions. A couple of the links even look stuck together in the pictures.
Great idea!
This is great! Over the summer I bought a chain necklace that is part red-dipped, and I get so many compliments on it. Might have to start making my own!

It seems really simple. But I’m somewhat of a “perfectionist”, so when dipping it in the Plasti Dip how do we minimize the bubbles or lumps on the the chain? I wanna keep it as smooth as possible. I imagine it would dry in the dripping form.Making it look like the chain itself is that raw color would be sweet.
OMG AMAZING. also where do you buy these chains?
