DIY gifts to Spread the LOVE! Darby Smart

When I saw this necklace from one of my favorite stores…. I knew I needed it.  I mean… the golden glow of this necklace is stunning.

But ouch.  That price.  NOT in my budget right now – especially during the holidays when my credit card seems to be on fire.

Plan B:  Make my OWN Druzy necklace from a Darby Smart kit (kit cost is $29 or just $19 now with code GLAM10)  Boom.

Here’s MY homemade version:

How’d I do it?  Simple.  I ordered a Darby Smart kit and got to work.

Here is what was in my Darby Smart Druzy box:

My tip:  Buy a cheap small paintbrush to brush on the Mod Podge.  Not included in the kit, but needed.

Step 1: Decide WHICH glittery color(s) you want to use. I made 2 necklaces (2 come in the kit along with earrings) and for one of my necklaces I combined blue and gold.

Step 2: Apply a thin layer of Mod Podge to your necklace base.  Use that paintbrush I suggested to spread the Mod Podge evenly out.

Step 3: Sprinkle in an ample amount of glitter (fun part, in my opinion!)

Step 4: Apply another thin layer of Mod Podge on top of the glitter – use the paintbrush to move the Mod Podge evenly over surface.  It’s OK if the glitter gets all mixed into the Mod Podge. It dries clear…

Step 5:  Allow to dry.  I waited overnight and it was fine.

Step 6: Wear your creation!
