DIY Typography Pendants

Step 1: DIY Typography pendants

Easy tutorial on how to make your own typography pendant necklace.

Step 2:

SUPPLIES:

A printout of the word you’d like on your pendant, using Lust Script. Make sure to print it out 250 to 300% larger than the size you’d like the finished pendant to be because they shrink a lot when you bake them.
Shrinky Dink plastic sheet. (You can buy a pack of these from most craft stores.)
Sharpie marker
Scissors
Washi tape or masking tape
Kraft paper
Standard hole punch
Jewelry pliers
Jump rings and chain

Step 3:

Cut a piece of the Shrinky Dink plastic and place it over what you want to trace. Tape it in place so it won’t move around, and trace with a Sharpie. Color in the letters with either your Sharpie, colorful markers, or pencil crayons.

Step 4:

Using the hole punch, punch holes where you’d like the loops for your chain to go. Cut around the word, leaving a small border. Be sure to go around your hole punches.

Step 5:

Place your plastic pieces onto the Kraft paper (fold one corner of the paper to make getting it off the warm baking pan easier). Place into a 325-degree-Fahrenheit preheated oven (or toaster oven) for approximately two minutes. Watch them shrink, curl up, and flatten out again. Once they’ve flattened out, give them another 30 seconds, then remove them from the oven.
