My Little Pony Floating Locket Charms!

 My Little Pony Floating Locket Charms!  Floating Lockets are so pretty! They are so fun too and make great gifts! But instead of customizing it with non-custom charms... Try making your own!  You will need: Floating "living memory" Locket (they are everywhere) White Shrink Plastic (shrinky dinks) Colored ink jet printer scissors/oven about 20 minutes!  Right click to save off image...personal use only. All images belong to My Little Pony and not me, I just arranged them and made them the perfect size for you! You can thank me by liking, sharing, following, pinning or commenting! ;) First print out your desired images on the shrink plastic according to package directions. (basically insert like paper and print) Let the ink dry an hour or so before cutting. Then cut out each shape with a little border. Lay them on a baking sheet lined with parchment. The parchment is not necessary, but helpful. Bake in the o...

Legend of Zelda Heart Container Necklace!

 Legend of Zelda Heart Container Necklace! I love old school Nintendo games. Among my favorites were Legend of Zelda and The Adventures of Link! Who doesn't love these little pixelated heart containers? I loved finding them hidden on the game.  Just right click to save off the hearts.  Now print them off on White Shrink plastic so they are around 3 inches wide. Grafix Shrink Film, Printable, White Inkjet, 6-Pack Cut them out with a slight border edge... Punch holes on either side in the heart containers. Bake in the oven according to shrink plastic directions. About 3 minutes in a 350* oven. Watch the plastic curl up and then flatten out. Then it's done.  Remove it and let cool. Next, I used some chain and a clasp and 4 jump rings. Attach the chain to the clasp. It's a perfect necklace. Unhook the chain links at the center of the necklace and attach the heart containers with the other 2 jump rings!  Easy! Rock that old sc...

Geometric Paper Crane Necklace!

 Geometric Paper Crane Necklace!   Origami paper cranes are cool to make!  And a geometric paper crane is cool too! Right click to save image.  Print it off so it fills about 1/4 of a sheet of paper. This was my first one, and it's much bigger...to make it pendant size,  it needs to be about half this size:  Staple a sheet of clear shrink plastic over your printed bird. Use a hobby knife to cut away the inside shapes. Then use scissors to cut the outside shape of the bird. Shrink plastic can be difficult to cut, so take your time...one slip and your design is ruined.  Once it's cut...  Place on a baking sheet. Bake in a 350* oven and watch it curl up...then flatten back out. Pull it out and let it cool  I spray painted mine silver! Then add a jump ring and a chain! Awesome geometric jewelry!
