How To Make Glowing Necklaces

DIY Glow in the Dark Necklaces Tutorial

The list features gorgeously beautiful glowing necklaces, but you can go ahead and make your own! There are many kinds of glowing necklaces, like the ones in this list that have glowing stones inside locket pendants. However, we’re going to teach you how to make one out of resin!

1. Prepare design and have it printed in and cut from a transparent film. For this tutorial, we’ll use a circular cat design.
2. Make a mold for the pendant which can fit the cut design. In this case, we can make a mold from cut plastic pill bottles with scotch tape, then closed off possible holes with hot glue.
3. Make a mixture of epoxy resin and glow powder. You can buy clear-casting epoxy resin and glow powder from Amazon, eBay, or other online resellers. You can also find them in craft stores. Follow instructions on how to mix the epoxy resin, and pour in the powder later on.
4. Pour the mixture into the mold, then put it in the design. Sandwich the design with the mixture, making sure that the mixture doesn’t spill and completely covers the design.
5. Let it sit for 48 hours or until the mixture is rock-hard. After this, you now have your glowing pendant! You can smooth the pendant with sandpaper.
6. Using a metal wire, fashion a holder for the pendant. In this tutorial, we will make a cat-inspired holder for the pendant using metal wire and solder.
7. As a finishing touch, grab any string and make a necklace for your pendant. And voila, you now have a glowing necklace!
