Sugar Skull Shrink Plastic Earrings
Margot Potter for BeadsDirectUK
Ah, shrink plastic. I can clearly recall myself as a younger and impatient Madge marveling through the oven door window as my colorful creations folded, flipped, flopped and flattened into delightful miniature works of art. Some things never change. I've been making shrink plastic jewelry for a number of years. It does require just a little bit of patience, but the end result is absolutely worth the effort! I've always had a deep adoration for The Day of the Dead celebration and the many colorful, lively, beautiful crafts that surround this holiday. What an amazing way to celebrate life and those who have passed away. I've taken a permission free skull and added some sugar skull embellishments, you can take the skull and add more details or take some away, remember to add a little loop at the top for your jump ring. Use permanent markers, take your time and make sure you bake colored side up.
