Instructions

  1. Small 12241

    Draw your design onto shrink plastic. I based mine around the size of a hole from a hole punch. I've found that the hole punched hole shrinks to the perfect size for jewelery findings. For the X there isnt a hole, The ear ring hook is just hooked through the X.

  2. Cut out your designs (and punch the holes if you havent done already XD). I used a pair of very small nail scissors.

  3. Shrink your plastic in the oven at 120 degC. It will curl A LOT but dont worry it'll settle. Once it has settled, take out of the oven (be careful, i burned my arm VERY badly) and leave to cool.

  4. Hook on the ear rings and wear!! I would like to see your versions ^^
