DIY a Celestial-Inspired Star Necklace
1/8what you need
A plain gold colored necklace with fairly large links - Four colors of nail polish that you like together
White nail polish
Roughly 100 gold-colored star charms in an assortment of sizes, which can be found at jewelry stores or online. - Roughly 100 gold-colored o-rings
Needle nose pliers
A few disposable plastic plates
2/8Paint stars white
Lay out all of the metal stars on one of the disposable plates, and start painting them all white. Painting them white will help the other colors stand out.
3/8Open o-rings
Grab an o-ring, and use the needle nose pliers to gently open the ring.
4/8Loop o-ring through charm
Take one of the painted stars, and slip the open side of the o-ring through the loop at the top of the charm.
5/8Paint stars with colorful polish
Once the white paint coat is dry, use your other nail polish colors to start painting the stars. Try and paint roughly the same number of stars each color, mixing the star sizes, and allow the paint to dry. For a super-opaque finish, paint two coats.
6/8Fasten charms on necklace chain
Fold the necklace in half to find the center point, and slip the o-ring through one of the links in the center of the necklace. You'll be adding charms from the center point out on the necklace. Use the needle nose pliers to gently close the o-ring.
7/8Continue adding stars to necklace
Continue the process adding stars to the chain, working your way from the center of the chain, out, adding stars at random. You want a mix of colors and sizes.
8/8The finished necklace
Once you've added as many stars as you want, you're done!
