• 

  Step 1

  Start with #6 plastic. (The kind you often find from deli containers. I used a cookie container.)

• 

  Step 2

  Cut shape. I cut circles all the same size.

• 

  Step 3

  I printed off a sheet of clip art I found on the computer as a template to trace my designs.

• 

  Step 4

  Use magic markers/Sharpies to trace and decorate.

• 

  Step 5

  Punch hole in plastic before they go in the oven. It will be too thick after wards.

• 

  Step 6

  Place in a pre-heated 350-400 degree oven. They will curl up, shrink, then flatten out and stop shrinking. They only take a few seconds so watch them.

• 

  Step 7

  This picture shows how much they can shrink form the original size to the final size.

• 

  Step 8

  Get chain ready with latch attached on end. The jump rings are for attaching the charms to the chains of the bracelet.

• 

  Step 9

  Attach the charms by the jump rings to the chain. Space evenly.

• 

  Step 10

  Wear and enjoy.

the process of shrinking makes the charms and the drawing on them appear more delicate and detailed.
