Shrink-wrap jewellery with a 70s look

Colourful and cheerful are the jewellery elements in retro design, which here are attached to the charm bracelet, earrings and finger ring. They are painted in a convenient size on shrink foil and then brought to their final size in the oven.

Shrink film is a brilliant and very creative material: Simply paint it, heat it in the oven and tinker the "shrunken" motif! Makes fun and leads to fascinating results!

And so it goes

Transfer the templates to the rough side of the shrink film and colour them in with the various Posca markers. The different colors can be mixed to any desired shade.
Tip: The motives should not be much bigger than 4 cm.
After drying, outline the contours in black and set white highlights.
Cut out the motifs and punch holes for the stripes with the eyelet puncher, then place them on a baking tray in the oven preheated to 175°C.
Important: Do not place the foil pieces directly on the baking tray but use permanent baking foil. This prevents the shrink foil from melting on the hot baking tray.
After a few minutes the shrinking process begins. The film parts turn inwards and become considerably smaller.
When after about 2 - 8 minutes the figures have shrunk to their final size and are lying flat again, take the tray out of the oven and press the figures flat for good under a book. Thereby the parts harden finally.
Attach the stripes to the punched motifs for and Bracelet earrings and Ear hole hooks fasten them with a second strip on the link chain and on the earrings.
Attach the toggle clasp to the link chain.
Fix the heart motif on the ring plate with tape Ribbon .
