Celebrate your love of your favorite smartphone app with this DIY Instagram necklace! Created with Dimensional Magic, it's made to look just like the logo.Sometimes we must honor that which we love. In this case, I am honoring Instagram with a DIY necklace. If you've never heard of Instagram, it's a cute little photography app for your smartphone.

I LOVE Instagram for all of its wonderful filters that make my photos look decent . . . and for the ability to share pictures of silly things like fake hands at the nail salon or getting my morning coffee.

If you want to share in my adventures, I'm modpodgerocks on Instagram. Otherwise, here's the tutorial for my DIY Instagram necklace.

DIY Instagram Necklace

Gather These Supplies

  • Wood pendant – got mine at the craft store
  • Mod Podge Dimensional Magic
  • Mod Podge Podgeables basic shapes – small circle
  • Acrylic paint – I used FolkArt brand in Coffee Bean, Daffodil Yellow, Apple Red and Pure Black, and Apple Barrel brand in Parakeet and Bright Blue
  • Stencil tape in two sizes – 3/4″ and 1/4″
  • Paintbrush – you'll need a small one too
  • Jewelry findings – jump ring and necklace
  • Craft glue

Instagram-logoIf you haven't seen the Instagram logo, this is what it looks like. I wanted mine to be a more simplified version.

IMG_6326Start with a wood pendant. Get as close to a square as possible. I was lucky to find this one for $1 at my local craft store. If you can't find one at your craft store, check Etsy.

IMG_6334Use stencil tape to mask off the top of the pendant.

IMG_6335Paint the top of the pendant with your brown paint – give it several coats and let dry.

IMG_6340Section off a square on the top right. Paint it black and peel off the tape. Let dry.

IMG_6341Paint the stripes. Use the thinner stencil tape and smaller paintbrush. I just eyeballed the size of the stripes and started at the left edge. Start with red and let that dry . . .

IMG_6342Then do yellow, green and blue letting dry between colors.

IMG_6343When all the paint is dry, add Dimensional Magic to the surface of the pendant and let that dry.

IMG_6344I realized somewhere during the necklace making process that one of the Mod Podge acrylic shapes was the perfect size to be the lens of my Instagram camera. I painted the back black, let that dry and then glued it in place.

DIY Instagram NecklaceAdd the jump ring and necklace chain and you are ready to show your DIY Instagram necklace love to the world.

    Can you share at what local craft store you found the wood pendant? Approximately, what is the size of it?

    Thank you 🙂

      Hi Andrea – I found it on clearance at Michaels – and that was six months ago. They might still have some though. It’s about 1.5 inches x 1.75 inches or so. Thanks!

    What section of the store was it in?

    After you completed this, did you seal the back with anything or leave it bare?

    • Amy Anderson says

      October 11, 2012 at 7:28 pm

      Hi Andrea – It was at the end of a jewelry aisle, and I left the back bare.
