22 Rad Neon-Dipped DIY Projects

If you're like me, you've probably have been drooling over some of the latest and most popular DIY trends. Between gold dots (well, gold anything), ombre, teal, tassels, typography...there's so much goodness our heads are spinning. One big one that I didn't think I'd like but I actually fell head over heels for is neon. Especially neon dipped!

Neon totally is bringing us back to the 80's but without the crazy hair and grudge music. It's been given a fresh new identity and these project ideas are great inspiration for adding that lovely brightness to our boring non-neon daily lives.

I've gathered some awesome resources to spark that creative mind of yours! It was a lot harder than I thought to round up 22 neon-dipped DIY project ideas but here they are. It reminded me that I have a tutorial for up-cycling old utensils by paint dipping them...off to look for those photos for a future post! Enjoy your weekend, beauties xoxo

Pinterest Inspiration Board: Coral + Gold

For the love of gold, look at it! Coral and gold are the two hottest colors right now and honestly, I don't like to jump onto bandwagons but my goodness these colors rock.It took me a while to warm up to coral because I never thought of it as a real color haha You know, it was just like a pretty accent here or there but never really the focus. So I'd love to open this board up as a group board so you beauties can pin to it and find inspiration in one place! Pinterest group boards are a great way to build community, bring traffic to your site or blog and gain Pinterest followers.
