I drew out my design on some paper and made a template. I used a plastic folder, anything that is semi-flexable but also sturdy will to. tough cardboard could work. Then i drew around my template on the plastic, cut the shape out using a sissors. then i used black nail polish and i painted the plastic. I found that using nail polish was really good because it dried shiny and looked good. you can use any colour nail polish and add jewels etc. then i got a long chain and glued the diamond shape to the chain using PVA glue. :D i love it haha. good luck.

A print out of it or drawn on paper. Then cut it out. Cardboard would work, I would not suggest corrugated, but rather box board like a cereal box. a few layers of it. trace the design to the cardboard and cut it out with an craft knife, exacto blade..detail knife y'know? with a glue stick glue a few layers together so that it is sturdy. paint it and then decorate it as you want. glue rhinestones to it.. sprinkle it with glitter.. Dont forget to make a hole so that you can hang it from a chain. If you wanted something less bulky and a little more durable use plastic. Like the lid from a margarine container or something. The only thing with that is I dont know about designing on it.. paint and glue doesnt tend to stick well to some plastics. You need a template of your design. A print out of it or drawn on paper.
