Jewellery for a friend

I wanted to make my friend a personalised piece of jewellery so I found a cute pic of her twin boys and printed it off onto shrink plastic..(I love this stuff why have I not discovered it before. I now am going to make bens artwork into a charm bracelet for me I think) shrink plastic is easy to use its like paper and you just need an inkjet printer ..the pic needs to be 50% bigger than you want it to end up as it shrinks obviously and be careful not to touch the pic as it will smudge..then I just added a chain on either side fastings and green and silver glass beads. I'm happy with it cost less than £5 to make and about 1.5 hrs
and I made a button bracelet as a sort of trial run ..that turned out quite well too think
