Easter Shrinky Charm Necklace

Top Tip

When designing your Easter charms, remember to make them larger than you want the final size to be! Shrinking plastic reduces in size as it bakes, so your designs will become about 3-4 times smaller after heating. For best results, use bold colours and thicker lines to ensure the details stay sharp when shrunk!
