Matryoshka Doll Necklace

I just love these little russian dolls!  Here's a fun tutorial to make a sweet little matryoshka necklace for yourself.  All you need is shrinky dinks for the inkjet printer, a small hole punch and a necklace!

First find a cute doll and print it on the shrinky dink paper (just follow their directions) then cute it out...

Punch a hole for the jumpring...

Lay it between 2 pieces of paper (I used a lunch bag) and bake according to the directions.  For me it was about 2 mins @ 300degrees

See how much it shrinks and thickens...

So fun and super easy!
