I have never used shrink plastic in my life. Diane has made a few beautiful pieces. I really love the second pendant, Caroline, the colors are wonderful!

Shrink plastic? I have no idea even what it is. But those little flowers are so sweet!

You need a certain kind of plastic that will shrink. You don't necessarily have to buy it, you can also find it in some take out containers. Then you can draw on it with markers, put it into the oven and at a certain temperature it will shrink quickly. I have seen it before, but never done it myself.

Michelle, You can buy the sheets and cut out shapes. I coloured them with water colour pencils and using a silicone mould and a heat gun you can make these little flowers.

Those are amazing, Caroline, and I love the colors you used too! I've never used shrink plastic either (but, now Caroline has me wanting to try it), but I remember it being sold as Shrinky Dinks. I bought a kit for my MIL one Christmas because she was quite crafty, but I don't think she ever did anything with it. Shrinky DinksDawn
