that's a great idea Cassie, we could maybe do a necklace swap in November and a ring swap in December then we would all have new jewelry for the festive season.

I'd do the necklace maybe, but not rings, got no clue about how to do them, I'd like to make something out of shrink plastic, but the keyring I made for my fiancé has rubbed off Happy gutted when I saw my hard work 3/4 gone

You could try adding a layer of modpodge over you shrinkie plastic after you shrink it, it may help from your design from rubbing off.

How about white glue? Just add a bit of water to it (I'm sure there is measurements around here somewhere for how much of each, but I've never looked) and you've got mod podge! It way sucks that you don't have it in the UK though Happy

You can get mod podge over here, not cheap though. Definitely go down the pva/water route first

I traced it by hand from a picture I printed out from the internet.
I did the outline (black sharpie) on one side and coloured it in (still with sharpies) on the other side.

try lightly sanding your shrinkie paper first, it helps the ink to adhear
