Wooo, they're finished. Photos of the charms individually, plus one of them together. On a whim I added in a coughdrop for size comparison.

I guess there's a story behind these things. ~Justaregularperson and I were thinking of getting new best friend necklaces/keychains/something. However, there's not exactly a large selection of best friend stuff that could work for a guy and a not-very-feminine-girl XD So instead of going out and buying something for $15 or so, I got this idea. We're both MCR fans and we're still heartbroken over the breakup. The song "Demolition Lovers" ([link] ) is also kind of important to us. Inspired by all of this, I decided to create these charms using Shrinky Dink paper (wow I haven't used this stuff in years! I was reliving my childhood lol). I drew the man and the woman from MCR's second studio album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge, by hand in my sketchbook and then traced my drawing onto the SD paper (Frosted: Ruff 'n Ready is best for colored pencils, fyi. And to make sure the holes did not shrink in the oven, I punched about four holes). And voila. Best friend/demolition lovers charms.

Hopefully he likes them :S I'd be okay if he doesn't want to use them, but I'd probably cry and die a little inside pffhaha. If we do decide to use them, I'm just going to go buy some cheap necklace chains or something at the store.
