My nieces and I have been creating again!\u00a0 Perhaps some of you have seen the necklace I wear at times that I stamped with the Pick a Petal stamp set or perhaps you attended the Christmas gift class last year when we made this same necklace.<\/p>\n
These necklaces are a lot of fun to make with Shrinky Dink and Stazon Ink.\u00a0 You can find Shrinky Dink at craft stores such as Michael’s.\u00a0 Stampin’ Up! used to sell Shrinky Dink at one point, however, we no longer carry it.\u00a0 I decided to help my nieces make ![\"Rustic](\"https:\/\/www.stampthat.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/caits-necklace-up-close.jpg\" "\\"Rustic")
themselves each a necklace.\u00a0 The process is very simple, you stamp with Stazon Ink onto Shrinky Dink that is three times the size you want the finished product to be.<\/p>\n
It is very important to let the Stazon dry totally and then do any cutting or punching that needs to be done before<\/em> shrinking.\u00a0 You’ll need to be sure to punch a hole where you It is possible to use a heat tool to shrink the plastic but I have found it does not always heat evenly therefore allowing the plastic to double over and stick to itself so I personally prefer to use the oven.\u00a0 Simply follow the instructions on the Shrinky Dink package to shrink it.<\/p>\n On my necklace you’ll notice I used a Designer Filigree Brad in the center of the flower.\u00a0 In order to do that I had to punch a hole in the center of the flower before I shrunk the plastic.<\/p>\n My nieces made some necklaces today using the same methods.\u00a0 One of the girls chose to use the retired stamp set Rustic Rooster while the other chose to use Flower Fancy for her necklace. Didn’t they do a great job?!\u00a0 I can’t wait to see them wearing their new handmade and handstamped necklaces to church tomorrow morning!<\/p>\n Just wait until you see the new mini catalog . . . you’ll be excited about some more jewelry options there!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My nieces and I have been creating again!\u00a0 Perhaps some of you have seen the necklace I wear at times that I stamped with the Pick a Petal stamp set or perhaps you attended the Christmas gift class last year when we made this same necklace.

intend to attach the charm to the necklace too.\u00a0 It’s also important to think ahead and make the hole large enough that once it shrinks to a third it’s originally size the hole is still big enough for what you need.<\/p>\n
