The less efficient way of storing your memos

If you are the flirty type, you could keep your phone number on a memory charm and then give it away when you want someone to call you.

1

Write your note down on to shrink plastic using a permanent marker.
2

Cut the note out in to an interesting shape.
3

Punch a hole through the top.
4

You can write a little note on the back too, if you like.
5

Cook in the oven until shrunk. Usually at 175° for 2 minutes or so.
6

Take a jewellery clasp and a jump ring.
7

Slip the jump ring through the hole on your charm and then through the clasp. You can now clip your charm on to a bracelet.
8

Use the <a href="/projects/folded_notebook/">folded notebook</a> instructions to make yourself a notebook out of shrink plastic. Keep this in your pocket and then when you have something to remember, scribble it down and then make a memory charm.
