H&M Trend Necklace.

Inspired by a necklace one of my close friends of Suriel wore in a blogpost, I tried to create a DIY version. The original necklace is from the H&M Trend collection. And the DIY version is... Easy peasy!

The original

What you'll need
- shrinkle paper (A4 - transparent)
- a ribbon

extra: scissors, a cutter

Tutorial


Step by step
1) Cut out the shapes you like
  TIP: they will shrink in the oven - so make sure they are big enough!
2) Cut out a little hole in the middle
  TIP: make a square, this is the easiest form to cut out with your cutter
3) Put them in the oven - this will go very quickly. First they will curl up, afterwards they will flatten themself. This all in 1 minute or less.
4) Place a heavy book on them when you take your hot plastic out of the oven
5) Start to thread the shapes on to the ribbon

There you go!
