Instructions
- For each charm, trace the lid onto a sheet of Shrinky Dink. Then draw designs in the circles with the markers.
- Cut out the charms, then punch a hole in the top and bottom of each.
- Follow the package directions to bake the charms.
- Cut a length of the monofilament (ours was 20 inches) and knot one end (this will be the bottom). Add 2 beads, then string the monofilament through the holes of a charm. Add another bead, then another charm, and so on, until all the charms have been strung. Add a final bead, then tie the end into a loop for hanging.
