Step 1
first, gather your supplies.
for a cool effect, draw your design on the smooth side of the paper with a permanent marker. . then on the back fill in the color with your color pencils.
Step 2
dont forget to hole punch a hole to hang your charm on your necklace/bracelet.
then cut it out!in this picture, i was making a ring, so i didnt need to punch a hole out =)
Step 3
then place your designs on to a piece of cardboard. then onto a cookie sheet tray.
Step 4
then place the cookie sheet in the oven. the shrink paper package said to set the oven to 315 degrees. for about 5 minutes.
it's pretty fun to watch. hehe
you have to wait for the plastic to become flat again after it curls.
the longer it's in there, the darker the color of the design turns out.

(i just placed the guitar charm into the oven in this picture)
Step 6
after it comes out, i like to smash it in between two plates to flatten it down more. and if your making a ring, i know its not a smart idea, but i wrap it around my finger right after i take it out the oven to fit my finger perfectly. its a little hot, but it hardens INSTANTLY. seriously, instantly.
Step 7
then all you need to do is add some jump rings, then onto your desired material of string.
