These need to be lighter colors.<\/strong>\u00a0 (We had to redo the purple hearts as they were too dark once they shrunk up.)\u00a0 Color nine hearts. ![\"Here's](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Good-Vibe-Necklace-8.jpg\")
![\"blank630x20\"](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/blank630x20-3.png\")
<\/p>\nAfter the ink has dried lay the hearts over the pattern again and outline them in black. Then lay each one over the letters and color them in black.\u00a0 FYI we used hand drawn letters for ours. The letters on the printable will be a little different. ![\"Here's](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Good-Vibe-Necklace-10.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Cut out the hearts. ![\"Here's](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Good-Vibe-Necklace-11.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
The hearts are ready for punching holes into.\u00a0 As mentioned, we ended up redoing the purple hearts because when they shrunk they were too dark to read.\u00a0 ![\"Here's](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Good-Vibe-Necklace-12.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Using a 1\/8″ hole punch, place a hole on the side of a heart. Use this heart as a template to mark the others as shown below. ![\"Here's](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Good-Vibe-Necklace-13.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Lay the first heart that is punched over each of the others and make a dot where the holes will be. This assures they are all lined up exactly. ![\"Here's](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Good-Vibe-Necklace-14.jpg\")
Heat an oven to 325 degrees. It MUST be preheated before placing the hearts in. Lay the hearts out on foil spacing them apart from each other.\u00a0 Place them in the oven and watch them through the oven window if possible. Otherwise take a peek every minute.\u00a0 They will curl up at first but flatten out towards the end. It only takes 1 to 3 minutes. Ours took the full three minutes to shrink completely and flatten.\u00a0 FYI Some might still have a curve to them. We’ll show you how to correct that below. ![\"Here's](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Good-Vibe-Necklace-15.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
This is right out of the oven. They shrink up about 2\/3rds on size and become very thick. ![\"Here's](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Good-Vibe-Necklace-16.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
As soon as they come out of the oven<\/strong><\/em> take a spatula and press down quickly on any that are curled. This must be done before they cool,<\/strong><\/em> otherwise they will crack if pressed on.\u00a0 Guess how we learned that? \u00dc![\"Here's](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Good-Vibe-Necklace-17.jpg\")
<\/p>\nA variety of chains can be used. We chose a larger loop and used the links themselves to attach each heart. ![\"Here's](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Good-Vibe-Necklace-18.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Using small needle nosed pliers bend apart the chain links to attach the hearts. We placed two chain links between each heart. ![\"Here's](\"http:\/\/ourpeacefulplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/Good-Vibe-Necklace-19.jpg\")
