Katie recently showed us her shrink plastic lucky cat, and I've been shrinking too. Having struggled with stamping on normal shrink plastic, I bought some inkjet printable sheets and used my printer. I found some images I loved, here from Cathe Holden. She used hers for fridge magnets and bunting but I made mine into a necklace. Sounds bizarre but it's colourful and funny. All I had to do was to lighten the images in Photoshop, print, cut out, punch holes, and shrink.
I made another one (sound familiar?)
and here I am wearing a cheesy grin and a cheesy necklace just to prove I do wear these things I make
Have a look around Cathe's site, there are some wonderful freebie printables, and a host of creative ideas.
Bye for now.
Oh that's fabulous, must get me some printable shrinkable plastic the possibilities are endless!

That is ADORABLE! You know, I just did a book review on a shrink plastic book that featured some of my jewelry. It's a really fun book, only on Nook now, but released in paperback in Oct. This necklace also reminded me of the Country Living Ephemera charm bracelet. I love that you used the cheese labels I posted, what a perfect project for them!!! Thank you for sharing and linking!
