FISKARS SHRINK PLASTIC PERSONALISED NECKLACE

Fiskars Shrink Plastic Personalised Necklace Project

Level: Beginner

What you'll need:

Instructions

  1. First, Decide the colour and shape of your choker. Here we have used Circles and Hearts.
    There is a variety of shrink plastics available at Spotlight- here we have used the Metallic shrink Plastic from Sizzix.
  2. If you are writing a phrase, then it would be a good idea to start to count the number of letters there are. If the phrase has 3 words with 20 letters, then you will need 20 shapes and 2 blank shapes to break the words.
  3. Now using the Fiskars range of punches, cut out the shapes that you need.
  4. If you are writing letters, use a permanent marker to add letters and create words. Remember if you are using transparent Shrinkies the letters will flip, and the choker will only be used one way.
  5. Line up the shapes and punch a hole in each using the Fiskars handheld punch (0.6cm). The hole will shrink to roughly 0.15cm after shrinking.
  6. Set up your choker so that the design is lining up.
  7. Now lay down your Fiskars Silicone mat and put one shrink shape on it.
  8. Using the CC Heat Tool gun, start shrinking the plastic by evenly heating up the shrink plastic.
  9. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for every shape and keep lining up the shapes to form your Choker.
  10. Now using jewellery findings, construct your personalized choker!
