Step 1
I am not going to give directions on how to prepare plastic bags for crocheting.
You can google "how to crochet plastic bags" for those directions)
Step 2
Earrings and Bracelet

Chain desired length to go around wrist; enough to be able to slip around wrist without using a clasp. Do not join. Fasten off.
Step 3
With wax paper, wrap around chain and iron to fuse. Just go over about one or two times on both sides.

Do not let iron touch chain.

Wait about a minute to cool. If you move right away, it wil break apart.
Step 4
Fuse ends together. (use wax paper, do not let iron touch plastic).
Step 5
Repeat directions for for earrings. Make chain to desired size.
Step 6
Paint with desired color. Preferably paint or spray paint made especially for plastic. You
can spray with a clear glossy spray paint for finishing.
Step 7
Add jump ring to circle. Add to fish hook earrings.
