That looks great.
I bought loads of shrink plastic a while ago - then couldn't think of anything good to do with it.
So I flogged it!  _________________ Julie :0)

Those look like a great idea. I have made shrink plastic beads in the past - cut long thin triangles, colour, heat and roll up around a cocktail stick or kebab stick (like making paper beads). But use oven gloves or you'll burn your fingers. I use a heat gun, and reheat to soften again if necessary.

Shrink plastic is a fun medium. I use color pencil and either draw a design of my own or trace something then color and shrink. I gotta say that the ring thing sounds cool. I think I will try that when I have a bored moment. Thanks for the tip!!

This looks like fun, I haven't used shrink plastic since the kids were younger but I did buy some recently! Another excuse not to do the housework.
