How to do it

Print one of the three templates available as a separate PDF file for this idea. Draw and colour in the desired design using, for example, colouring pencils.

Cut out the figure. Make a hole for hanging if required – don't forget that the hole shrinks as well.

Shrink the figure in an oven at 170°C. Keep an eye on the plastic figure. First it will shrink and curl up ... and then it straightens out again.

An example of the difference before and after shrinking.

Attach the pendant with a round jump ring and close the jump ring using flat nose pliers. Cut the bead chain to the desired length and thread the pendant onto the chain. Fasten the chain with the supplied fastener.
