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

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.

    • 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!

  18. Insanely cute!! (BTW, I am so glad I’m not the only crafter who’s work surface is covered in paint!)
