Baking pan
Scissors

Step 1 1. Cut out the bottom of the plastic container

How do you keep the plastic from sticking to the pan?

I've used foil.  No coating necessary, just protecting the teflon pan I use.  We use a spatula to remove the item when it is hot and smash it flat on a corian cutting board.  It cools in seconds so you have to work fast.

Yes. Those are actual pictures from our actual attempt at making the necklaces. No photoshop tricks!
