I love color change things. Those cups that
turn colors when you put ice in them, those pens that change colors as you
write, and especially Thermocolor Paint!
What is thermocolor paint?
·
Thermocolor paint is
paint that changes color based on the temperature
If you liked my Instructable on how to make it, you're probably
wondering what it can do!
This Instructable will show you the ins and outs of making a
pair (or two) of thermocolor color-change earrings!
Here is What You Will Need:
·
Round Frame w/ Glass
(I got mine from Hobby Lobby! They go half off every few weeks, even without
coupons)
·
Thermocolor Paint
(Instructable to make your own is here, I recommend 2-color rather than
color-to-transparent, I'll explain why later in the Instructable)
·
Earring Hooks
Step 1: Separate
and Paint
There should be 2 panes of glass, so separate
them and just paint one set, leaving the other alone for now.
I started trying out with the color-to-transparent paint I made.
I found trying to brush it on didn't work so well, so I dabbed it onto the
glass.
The color-to-transparent is made with a different base than the
2 color and is thinner and doesn't stick as well to glass.
This took forever to dry, and when it finally
looked and felt dry...
Step 2: It wasn't,
and paint went everywere.
Too late to turn around now though, so I
continued.
I opened up the frame by unscrewing the top and forcing it open
with my fingers to get the glass inside. Once the glass is in, then I screwed
the frame shut with the top.
It looked good, but not what I was hoping for
so I tried again with the 2-color thermocolor paint.
Step 3: Attempt
2(-color)
This paint is thicker and a bit stickier so it
brushed fine onto the glass, and dried quickly.
I got the other pain of glass onto it easily, and it went into
the frame with no squishy paint or bubbles or overflow.
Muuuuuch better effect, much easier. I
definitely advise using 2-color paint.

ready to go! Enjoy your new unique earrings!
