diy. shrinky dink necklace.



Finally got around to using my Shrinky Dinks!
My inspiration comes from these wonderful clown eyelashes that 
I stumbled across online.  This just goes to show you that
you can find inspiration anywhere!
Eyelashes available here! Shrinky Dinks available at

I printed the above picture at 50% of the original size & used that as my guide.

Supplies: 
(under $7 from amazon!)
black sharpie
scissors
hole punch
jump rings
chain & clasp
pliers 

& the use of an oven.

  2. You can also use number 5 plastic if you're looking to upcycle! It's the clear plastic you find in plastic lunch containers like this http://www.packagingsupplies.com/images/products/clear_plastic_carryout_boxes.jpg
