side of the shrinky paper. The image will be flipped so that it appears
correctly on the shiny side.

sharpie of choice. The students may color in all parts of the oval if they
wish.
3. Cut the oval out and punch a hole using the hand held hole punch in the

center of the small oval.

pendant shrinks to half its size and lies flat. Remove from the oven.
