3. Color in the flower with any color you want.

5. Cut out the flower. Be careful, cutting shrink plastic is difficult!

6. Punch a hole in one petal on each of the flowers.

Baking Your Earrings

7. Bake the earrings according to the directions of your specific shrink plastic. It varies by brand, but I cook the shrink plastic at 350 Fahrenheit for about a minute. Put them in the preheated oven on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and pull them out when they have folded up and then have completely flattened down.

8. You may want to flatten them down with a heavy book to make the earrings perfectly flat.

9. Attach your earring hooks to the flowers and you're done!

Enjoy you're earrings!
