Shrinky Dink Bat Necklaces

This is how you use #6 plastic to make a Bat Necklace. You can make any kind of hard plastic dodad using this method. You will need:

Sharpie Markers
#6 Plastic (you can get free 'to go' containers from places, or your strawberry containers work too)
Oven
Baking pan
Scissors

Take your scissors and cut out the flat part of your plastic container.

Take a sharpie and draw a bat on the plastic, or place the plastic over a bat picture to trace.

Use scissors to cut out the bats and cut holes in them if you are making necklaces. Arrange them on your glass pan.

Bake the bats at 325 until they are small and hard and black. At first, they will curl, but eventually they will flatten out. Around 10 minutes is what it takes. Be sure to put face up the side you colored, otherwise it will stain your pan.
