draw your moustache on a scrap piece of paper using a dark marker. The size should be 3x larger than you want your finished piece to be.

this is the best part, watching the shrinky dink shrink up! It curls up into this small little ball, and just when you think it's a lost cause, it pops back out nice and flat. Wait until shrinky dink is flat again, it only takes about 20-30 seconds, then remove from oven.

Now quickly pick up moustache off of paper and wrap loosely around a your finger. BE CAREFUL ITS HOT! But don't wait too long, the plastic will cool and snap. You could also wrap the moustache around a marker approximately the same size as your finger.
