The other day while strolling through my local 99 Cent Only store {I love dollar stores} I came across these plain wood earrings. It's like they were calling my name to take them home and make them fabulous. Aren't they the perfect canvas?
I decided I would use Neon for this project of course. I'm obsessed with Neon at the moment. Maybe it's because I feel super tan when I wear it, maybe it's the intense colors...who knows, but I love it.
I used some masking tape to tape off the earrings in the patterns I wanted. You can really do anything, stripes, polka dots, solids...you decide. You could use little stickers too.
All you do is paint them. I had to do several coats of my neon colors since they were a thinner acrylic paint, I just kept applying coats until I reached the intensity I wanted. I then removed the tape when it was dry and I had these great earrings. These earrings are the perfect example of finding something simple at the dollar store and making it fabulous. These have a great natural feel to them to with the mixture of the wood and paint. Perfect for summer!
