Start this geometric necklace project by downloading the template below. Print this template directly onto your shrink film. You can use clear or white shrink film for your necklace, but we decided to use white for ours. It is all based on preference! After you cut out your hexagons, punch a hole at the top of your shapes so that you can add jump rings after they come out of the oven. Stick them in the oven on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Make sure that none of the pieces are touching when you put them in the oven because they will end up melding together. Funnily enough, we actually baked ours in the toaster oven we have in the studio and it worked like a charm!
Once you pull your hexagons out, place a heavy book on them to flatten them. When they are completely cooled, you can begin painting with acrylic craft paint. I recommend 2-3 coats of paint in total. Play around with paint colors! We painted one with metallic paint and love how it turned out. To complete our geometric necklace, we added bronze jewelry findings. Wait until the paint is completely dry to add the jump rings and chain. We found our findings at our local JoAnn Store, but you can also find them at any jewelry or craft store. Follow the step-by-step photo tutorial and printable instructions to craft your geometric necklace!

Love versatility of this necklace, can do any colors, chain, findings. How about putting a texture on pieces?
So weird, as I was cleaning up in studio earlier this week came across my shrink film, had no idea where it might be as hadn’t had occasion to use it in such very long time. Were you reading my mind?
Love those ribbon bracelets also, so exceptionally versatile. Oh heck love it all.
Haha thanks for your sweet comment, so glad you love it all!
