I'm a big fan of the dipped furniture/housewares trend. You know, when just the bottom of a chair or a bowl is dipped in paint. Here are some examples of what I mean:
I thought it would be fun to try a similar treatment on plain wood beads. In honor of the neon trend, which was discussed in Chloe's post a few weeks ago, I decided to dip my beads in neon pink paint.

Follow along as I show you what I did . . .
 |
FIRST, I unwound a hanger and used heavy-duty wire cutters to cut off the bent ends.
I rested the hanger wire over an old shoe box. This is where I dried my beads.
|
 |
NEXT, I set up a newspaper-covered work surface.
Then, I cut down a small plastic cup and poured paint into it.
|
 |
AFTER THAT, I dipped each bead in the paint, then slid it on the hanger wire to dry.

Enjoy!
