Shrinky Dink Jewelry

Green! Recycle those yucky plastic boxes! Did you know #6 plastic can be used for shrinky plastic?I've posted about homemade Shrinky Dinks before (see HERE).  I like this idea, because it shows you how to turn those homemade Shrinky Dinks into a pretty bracelet and necklace pendant that would be something I would actually wear.  We've done homemade Shrinky Dinks before, but always just the kids making little trinkets.  THIS is actually something useful (sorry kids!), and would make a nice gift.  Head to Rust & Sunshine for a full tutorial complete with LOTS of helpful photos that show you EXACTLY how to do this.  You can do this!  Seriously.
While I'm on a Shrinky Dink tangent - you should also head to PlanetJune for a SUPER HELPFUL tutorial on how to make really pretty Shrinky Dink rings.  Again, these could realistically be used as gifts, and are something I would truly wear.
