Step 1:
Print out the glasses template, then place the shrink plastic on top of the template with frosted (textured) side facing up. If needed, attach the template to the shrink plastic with tape to keep it from moving.

Step 2:
Use a pigment pen to trace the outline of the glasses onto the shrink plastic.

Step 3:
Use the pigment pen to fill in the outlined shape completely, taking care not to smudge the ink as you work.

Step 4:
Once the full glasses pattern has been transferred to the shrink plastic, carefully cut out the shape using scissors with detail blades.

Step 5:
Use the paper punch to punch holes through the circles on either side of the glasses shape.

Step 6:
Bake the shrink plastic per the instructions on the shrink plastic package, pressing the pendant flat with a piece of cardboard after removing it from the oven.

Step 7:
To finish, use round pliers to secure jump rings through the holes on each side of the pendant.

Step 8:
String the pendant on a necklace cord or chain, then let your geek flag fly!
