Print the attached design (drawn by me), or draw yours. Print it, or copy it on a A4 sized paper sheet (the design will get 7x smaller !). Find inspiration on google image etc ... Or your secret daring tattoo project :>
Place your shrinking plastic over your design. Colour FIRST your design with coloured pencils, the lightest colour first and AFTER draw the lines with black pens, and black shaddows at the very end (unless you will make it dirt, while rub your hand on the design !). Tip : Don't color the whole desing, just do the shaddows with colour, leave the edges blanks ;)
Cut your design, but beware, not too thin (don't cut all around the little ribbons, leave some plastic spaces for solidity) unless your design will break easily :/ (my first attempt was) Don't forget to punch holes NOW were you want to put the chain !
Put your design in the oven, and watch the magic ! (read the instructions on the shrinking plastic blister.) (actually, on this photo, you can see my ugly first attempt : dirty and broken ribbon XD eww ..)
Varnish it, coloured pencils don't like water ! I used mate varnish in spray bottle. Put rings on the holes, the chains and clasp. Et voilà ! You are tattooed ! :)
