Print the charms on shrink paper and cut them out.
-
To use your charm as a bracelet or necklace pendant, you need to punch the holes before you bake them. If you wish to use the charm for a barrette, simply cut off the hole before you bake them.
-
Follow the baking instructions on the shrink paper package to bake the charms in your oven. Watch the shrink plastic dance and curl!
-
If the charm is still slightly curled when it is finished baking, use a piece of cardboard or a spatula to flatten it completely.
-
Apply a couple coats of clear nail polish to seal the ink on the charm and make it water-resistant. Let the nail polish dry.
-
Add the charms to whatever you'd like! You can use jump rings and jewellery chain to create a charm bracelet or necklace, or attach them to a mobile phone charm strap or zip. You can also glue charms to barrettes and hair pins.
