How can I make a necklace like the one the girl wears on the 13 advert?

My friend is going to a halloween party (eee i LOVE halloween!!) and she wants to go dressed as the girl from the 13 advert (13, the new roller coaster at Alton Towers) And she wears a necklace that looks like it's made from twigs, with 13 as a pendant hanging from it. Any ideas how i could go about making one? Sorry for my crappy explanation - if you've seen the advert you'll know what i mean... i hope ^-^

Hi, HollyPolly, I had a look at the advert and i can see why she wants one, I kinda do too now! The only thing i can think of is maybe Fimo clay or silver clay. Fimo is cheaper and easier to use.
Hope this helps!

Incase anyone is wondering I think what HollyPolly means is this:



I'm not sure how you would make that, perhaps with clay or like a shrink plastic perhaps?

The 13 you could make from shrink plastic and the twigs maybe from wire?

Yeah Vi that's not a bad idea. You could actually wrap the wire around the "13". You'd have to get wire that's like a golden colour perhaps?

You could wrap the wire with something so it looks like twigs.Happy

You could use leather thonging as a base for the main part. It could be knotted together and frayed. That way it's not too heavy. I'd go with the strink plastic for the 13 so it not too heavy for the neck piece Happy
