Shrink Charm Examples...

Hey everyone!

I hope you've had a wonderful Thursday! A few people asked if the colored pencils and paints are permanent once the shrink plastic has been shrunk. Yes it is...it gets a little bumpy from smooshing all that color into one tiny area but it most definately is there to stay. If you're worried about it getting scratched or marred on something going to be used often remember you can always give it a shot of clear acrylic sealer. It will protect your charm from any harm.

Things have been wild here so I didn't get as many examples finished as I had hoped ~ I'm going to try to work on a few more tonite after supper (yes, the guys are STILL out at the farm and we haven't had dinner yet!) If I get them finished I'll post them asap :)

Here are the shrink plastic charms I DID manage to finish....

Super Heros!!

If you notice the edges of these charms have a cool postage edge to them. If you cut your image out of the shrink plastic using deco scissors you'll get an awesome finished edge every time. I personally like the postage edge (used here and on WW) as well as the deckle edge cut myself.

Wonder Woman

Yellow Finch (I think)

The Yellow Finch is already spoken for but if there is anyone interested the two super hero goodies are up for grabs!! If you'd like the necklace or bracelet all you have to do is post in this thread or in any of the shrink plastic/shrinky dink threads this week and you'll be entered to win one of them :)

You will have until 5-17 to post ~ at that time I'll draw two winners out using Random.org!

Good luck friends and I'll be back with more charms (hopefully soon)!

Tomorrow I'll be sharing a couple other jewelry related techniques using shrink plastic scraps from other projects! Next week I've got a couple more cool shrink plastic techniques to share as well so stay tuned to this...inky channel ;)
