DIY Foam Necklaces (12 Pack)

DIY Foam Necklaces let kids create wearable art by decorating foam hearts and stars, then attaching them to metal chains. Paint them, color them, or even cover them with modeling clay for a bold 3D look kids will love showing off.

Create Wearable Art With Foam Shapes and Fun Texture

DIY Foam Necklaces are the perfect mix of crafting and self-expression. Kids decorate foam shapes, then assemble them into real necklaces they can wear home. The heart and star shapes provide ample space for color, patterns, names, and designs, making every necklace unique.

This project is especially fun because it offers multiple ways to decorate. Kids can paint the foam, use markers for details, or add texture by covering the foam with modeling clay. Once decorated, they insert the attached pins into the foam shapes and connect them to the chains for a finished wearable accessory.

It’s a great choice for craft programs that want a take-home project kids actually keep and wear—perfect for groups, themed events, and creative stations.
