For Delilah’s, Frozen themed birthday party, I wanted make each of the kiddos a necklace to go with their felt crowns. I was able to whip them in up very little time and the kids loved them. I love that you can customize them to any party theme.
The paper Frozen circle shapes were from a party store. They were packaged as table confetti….of course, when I spotted them I saw necklaces. I have also seen different party printables at etsy and ebay. Or you can design your own on a printer.
The acrylic disks / pendant blanks are available at my etsy shop. You could also use a wood disk with a drilled hole or you could attach a bail to the back of a wood disk.
I attached the circles to the pendant blanks with Mod Podge gloss. It was just a few coats of Mod Podge to the back of the paper and top of the pendant blanks. I placed the paper circles on the disks and allowed them to dry. I top-coated with a layer of Mod Podge.

I attached some snowflake rhinestones to each pendant with a little gem glue. The Ice Mix Rhinestones are available here.
I painted a few highlights of silver glitter with some glitter nail polish. It’s fast and the sparkle is awesome.
I threaded each necklace onto fold-over elastic. I measured the amount needed by using my 3 year-old as a guide. I added a little bit extra to knot off the end. I like using the fold-over elastic because it is soft and stretchy.
Before knotting the ends, I add a snowflake button down the elastic. This is really not necessary for the necklace design to work. But I found them on sale at Jo-Ann Fabrics so I grabbed them up.
For the Olaf necklaces, I used an oval Pendant Blank. I cut the paper circle onto an oval shape and threaded some of them with the fold-over elastic and some with leather lacing. I wanted some necklaces that were less frilly and more masculine.
I displayed all the necklaces in a tray with an Arendelle Jewels sign. The sign I made with supplies that I had left over from Sophia’s “6-months with the Filian Family Party” – how far we have come since that party!
