Honey I Shrunk The Flowers
The fascination with watching something big shrink into something really tiny never gets old. I loved doing Shrinky Dinks when I was young, and I love using the professional quality of the Shrink Plastic that is available today. In this class you will use shrink plastic and several silicon molds to form and create beautiful flower beads. Each bead will have several layers of petals that will be hand colored using colored pencils to add to the unique design of the flowers you create. You will learn how to make wired wrapped beads and a simple assembling technique will bring it together in a charming necklace. Accent beads, chain, and jewelry findings will be provided as part of the class. The number of beads you make are dependent on how detailed you make each flower and how you manage your time. Trust me these little pretties are addicting to make. There will be plenty of guidance and assistance. All materials for the necklace will be provided.
Students should bring:
Colored pencils (Prismacolor are recommended) Chained nose pliers and flat nose pliers and round nose pliers. Wire cutters. We do have some jewelry tools in the studio available to share. Detail Scissors
