Description

I just love crocheting and recycling.

Instructions

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)

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.

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.

4. Fuse ends together. (use wax paper, do not let iron touch plastic).

5. Repeat directions for for earrings. Make chain to desired size.

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.

7. Add jump ring to circle. Add to fish hook earrings.
