About Teflon Sheets: These things are awesome! You can buy them for cooking, dehydrating and crafting. They are inexpensive and reusable. I have two for crafting and you can work with hot glue, paint and all types of mediums and they clean right off. Excellent for crafters. Some are thicker than others. I used my thin one for this project because you can trace through it.
- Hot Glue Gun (Use low temp if kids are involved. The one linked to that I use is dual temp.)
- Teflon sheet (This is one I own. It’s a 16″x24″) You could use foil but you can’t trace through it, obviously.
- Paint, or Spray Paint (Whatever you choose to color them with}
- Extra Fine Glitter (optional)
- String

Instructions
If using a thin Teflon sheet, place your pattern underneath it. Trace the design with a glue gun making sure the side lines are as long or as short as desired.
You can also just draw in with the glue gun using no pattern. Foil will also work if you can draw your own designs without needing to trace. 
Allow the glue to cool for 3 or 4 minutes, them peel it off.
Pull off any small strings of glue that remain.
Paint your necklace if desired with acrylic paint and a brush or spray paint. 
Attach string or cord for tying the necklaces on in a variety of ways. We glued most of ours on. 
I never could find the Teflon sheets. Is there a place where you can purchase them online?
There’s a link up under supplies to one that I use. I get mine on Amazon. HI think its this same one. 16×20 which is a really nice size for about $6.00 http://amzn.to/2eo3P2c
What a great idea! I just recently discovered that hot glue can be dried and peeled off like that, and even spray painted, but it hadn’t occurred to me to make jewelry that way! So perfect! Pinned! 🙂 Lisa
Thanks Lisa! I was so excited when I learned how much you could do with this stuff besides stick things together. Ü

really fabulous, thanks for sharing on craft schooling sunday!
What a fun idea! My daughter would have fun doing something like this. Visiting from Happiness Is Homemade party.
I love crafty ideas that already use things you may have around the house. Could you use waxed paper instead of Teflon sheets?
The wax paper would melt from the hot glue but you could use foil as suggested. Most folks have that!
fabuslouly simple.

What a fun idea! I’m sure my crafty daughter would love this!
