Shrink Plastic Brooches and Dangles

[@martyc2328]

I love this! 50 years ago, before there were shrink plastic sheets, we used the clear plastic lids that came on chicken liver containers from the grocery store - the butchers just gave them to us until they got so popular for shrinking that they'd run out of lids for the chicken livers, then they started selling the lids and limiting how many could be had at one time. We colored them with tubes of embroidery paint or magic markers and cut them out with scissors. We put the cut-out pieces into the oven on cookie sheets to shrink - they came out flat, and I had no imagination for making them dimensional. I made buttons and earring dangles. Craft manufacturers finally started producing the shrink sheets. It's fun to see this level of crafting with the shrink sheets! Thanks! 🥰

[@donnadegale-kalloo5926]

Cute! I have never used shrink plastic but it sure looks like fun, just like embossing powder.

[@mariakristinaengen3215]

Sweet! 💜

[@wandaspencer9523]

These are incredibly beautiful, and so inspiring! Alcohol inks also make beautiful backgrounds for shrink art. ♥️♥️♥️

[@janewebster7661]

Nice idea.

[@donnawebber2359]

Beautiful

[@CobwebCottage]

LOVE this video Gi. I had forgotten about the shrink plastic I have in a drawer here .. somewhere, in my craft room, but you've woken me up to using it again. Great project for today, I think! Thank you Gi. Sending love ~ Cobs. x

[@jaynewood6714]

Thanks for sharing this idea! I’ve never tried shrink plastic. Oh no! Another supply on my wish list!

[@tishsmiddy71]

Lovely 😊

[@ValTwineDeaner]

Wow Gi, you are SO inventive. I can always rely on you to give me lovely new ideas. Thank you so much, you are very generous with your time and superb tutorials. These are gorgeous. I have to give it a try. I recently ordered uv resin from eBay and didn't realise it was coming from China. It took 2 months to get to me in the UK, and I went to use it last week, but the bloomin' stuff won't cure! It's so frustrating. I've had to order some more expensive uv resin from Amazon, so I'm waiting for that to come now. I can't wait to get started. Thanks again Gi. Take care, and have a lovely weekend, xx

[@emilypatterson2027]

I want to make some of the little dangly ones for earrings. They are so cute

[@jojomabtrujillo1850]

I love your videos, especially this one. I'm going to look for my shrink plastic and have fun like you did. Thank you for your ideas! 💞

[@RoseD2016]

Gi I love these. So simple and they add so much to whatever you want to use them for. Gorgeous . I hope you have the shrink paper listed on your Amazon. I have to get some. TYFS another great project. 🤗💕🤗

[@fazestorm4441]

You could photocopy it and you'd have a permanent journal page that you made

[@UniquelyYoursbyDawnMarie]

Very cute!

[@kellysweeney3842]

They look to have some considerable thickness to them after shrinking. Is that the case or is it a trick of the camera? In any case, they are GORGEOUS! Great video.

[@catb737]

Beautiful! Where does one find that thick black foam and that rolls ball tool?

[@beckymeldrum7022]

Thank you!

[@SaraFrenchCountryCottage]

Hello~I couldn't find the US link to the chalks you used to color the shrink plastic. TFS, Sara

[@cuddlesanddaisy]

Probably a dumb question but is there another way to cut into shapes? And can it be colored with gel pens?

[@kimmanker9465]

Gi I really wish their was another way I could purchase your kits. Sadly Etsy doesn't take my card and my card doesn't work with PayPal. If you ever decide to get a web address then I would most definitely purchase your kits.

[@GiKerr]

Hi Kim, I have a shop on Ko-Fi which you can try. ko-fi.com/gikerr/shop Hugs Gi x

[@charlottebergman6868]

Thank you! What is the resin you use?

[@nancykn100]

would love to give this a try, have never done this. Would copic markers work for coloring ?

[@leisacarnahan7647]

Those are absolutely beautiful! Where did you get the shrink plastic. Sorry if you said and I did t hear it.

[@GiKerr]

Thank you, there is a link to my Amazon Storefront under the video. I could not find the one I was using but added an alternative. So you can see what you are looking for. Hugs Gi x

[@leisacarnahan7647]

@@GiKerr ok, thank you so much Gi!

[@fazestorm4441]

I can hardly wait for the jelly Prince my phone doesn't want to listen to me

[@groovyboomer]

Please share your source for the foam pad-thank you!

[@lw3370]

What size do they start out? Isthe large one finished about an inch?

[@Spellbound987]

You could really have brought your made goodies up to the camera because all you made was, it seemed, a little bit too far away to see what you were referring to. Gorgeous flowers from what i could see though. Ive saved this video.❤
