Description

My friend Louise loves newts, so I made her this bracelet for her birthday.

Instructions

  1. Trace around an image of a newt or download the PDF and use my template. Cut out the paper template.

  2. Small newt1 1279287675

    Use blue tack to stick the paper template to the shrink plastic and cut around the template.

  3. Use a hole punch to make small holes at either side of the newt.

  4. Heat the shrink plastic newt down in an oven until small.

  5. Cut a strand of elastic long enough to fit around your wrist twice and tie it through one side of the newt, so that it's in the middle. Tie a knot.

  6. Slide on wooden beads, making a nice pattern as you go.

    Knot the elastic through the other side of the newt and you're all done!
