Not sure if it would be just like the picture, but one idea is rubber stamping (an image of your choice) on shrink plastic , then color it with markers or colored pencils. You would stamp the image onto the shrink plastic, color it, cut it out, punch a little hole (remember the hole will shrink) for a jump ring, then shrink it (either in the oven or by using a heat tool). The shrinking will intensify the color quite a bit. You can buy all the supplies at Michael's or Hobby Lobby or any other similar arts and crafts store.

Sound like fun?
