I’d like to pretend that I made this Hunger Games stamped necklace for my tween daughter, and that I know nothing about the Hunger Games.  But my true confession is that I read all 3 books over spring break in 3 days {and loved them!}

I spent the weekend recreating all the Katniss hairstyles at the insistence of my daughter, so I thought I would surprise her with this little design when she got home from school. For the record, she wore the bun version of the braids today and looked absolutely adorable. I will have to add a video tutorial one of these days on how to create the different looks.

Although I designed this as a necklace, I think I will actually put it on a clip so she can hang it off her backpack.

Using our economical base metal discs (I love my daughter, but I’m not going to hang sterling silver off her backpack) I stamped out the famous quote “May the odds be ever in your favor” on our 1 1/4″ and 7/8″ discs and then stacked them. I also added a swarovski crystal charm that changes color from yellow to orange and red in the sunlight. I thought it was the perfect touch for the “girl on fire.”

Stamped Jewelry doesn’t have to be just for moms. Create something unique for a tween, teen or a friend. Your favorite quotes from a book or movie or an inside joke. Use your creativity and design something special that is just for them.
