How to do it Download the templates/recipes
1 Print the idea’s corresponding PDF and colour the motifs with coloured pencils.
2 Cut out the motifs and make holes of at least 3 mm in size.
3 Place the figures on a baking tray lined with baking paper in a conventional oven at 170 degrees. After a few seconds, the figures will start to shrink and curl up before straightening out again. This is when they're ready.
4 Use elastic cord and a big eye beading needle to make a bracelet. See here (link to v16686) for how to tie the knot on the elastic cord.
5 Attach the figure by opening an O-ring – thread the O-ring through the figure’s hole and squeeze it back together onto a necklace, earring or bracelet. See here (link to v16623) for how to use an O-ring.
