I planned the designs in a sketchbook first. Then traced the designs onto the clear shrink plastic using a light box. Colored with colored pencils. Shrunk the plastic. When still warm, rolled the top edge onto a skewer. Used a sharpie around the edge of each piece. Then strung the necklace using wire, beads, charms, and findings.

Both necklaces are beautiful. I love the findings you used, especially the circles with charms. I also like your designs and coloring on the shrink plastic. Great idea to roll the top around a skewer.

Amazing!!! How clever to form the shrink plastic while it was warm! I have never thought to try something like that other than try to keep them from warping....thank you for the inspiration!!
