Heart shrink art necklace

This is really easy to do but looks quite intricate. You need some templates to get your pattern from, mine were in my klutz shrink art set but you could print some off the Internet.

Step 1: draw using a pencil a heart shape onto the rough side of the shrink plastic.
Step 2: draw using a normal pencil around the flower design on the template.
Step 3: use colouring pencils to shade in the flowers and leaves.
Step 4: use a hole punch to punch a hole near the edge of the heart.

Step 5: place the heart on a piece of cardboard on a baking tray so the rough side is up.
Step 6: preheat the oven to 160 degrees.
Step 7: once the oven is up to temp put your heart in for 3-4 mins.
Step 8: take it out of the oven and place something heavy on top of it like a glass place mat to stop it curling up. (The penny is just to give you an idea of the size.)
Step 9: thread a jumpring through the hole in the heart and close it.
Step 10: thread a piece of black cord about 30cm through the jumpring.
Step 11: attach a cord end to both ends of the cord.
Step 12: attach a jumpring to both ends and attach a lobster clasp to one jumpring.
