I came across this idea somewhere a long time ago as a cheap alternative to Shrinky Dinks, and things like it. It's super easy and I love the end result. I made these for my boyfriend of his dog that just died. R.I.P. Chopper.

Instructions
You Will Need
- Project Cost
- Cheap
-
1
Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.
-
2
Start with a plastic container. Number 6 works best and it's the easiest to find. Mine was a pie cover thing.
-
3
Cut out the flat part so it's easier to work with.
-
4
Take your picture (I photoshopped it so the contrast was higher and easier to see) and tape it right side down onto the plastic.
-
5
Trace over it with the markers and color it however you want. Then punch a hole in it wherever you want it to hang from.
-
6
Make a little tray out of aluminum foil, put your plastic on it, and put it in the oven.
-
7
Keep it in the oven for a minute or two, checking on it every 30 seconds or so. The plastic curls really weird for a little bit, but it'll flatten out, don't worry!
-
8
Take it out of the oven. If you want to bend it, do it within the first 10 seconds. It should be okay to touch.
-
9
I put on a coat of clear nail polish, but that's optional.
-
10
Put it on a string, chain, ear rings, bracelet, whatever you want! Enjoy!
