Sun Charms

[holytoastr.livejournal.com]

Sun charms are made with beads that react to UV rays. They're really handy if you've got sensitive skin that burns easily. I use them as a reminder to reapply my sunblock. I put a little bit of sunblock on the beads, and when the beads turn bright colors again I know my own sunblock has worn off. Here's a couple charms I made for my friends.

Note: It's a cloudy day today, so I couldn't get the beads to their full brightness. They get brighter in direct sunlight.
