more shrinky rings

February 18, 2008 @ 4:50 pm · Filed under Beading / Jewellery

I’ve been making more shrink plastic rings, and I’ve refined my method so I can produce these:

I really like how they’ve turned out. And there’s also the added bonus of watching the long strips of shrinkydinks wiggle about as they shrink :)

Would anyone be interested in a tutorial on how to make these? Let me know in the comments… UPDATE: Thanks for all the requests! Here’s the tutorial :)

    They are very beautiful, are they strong? I haven’t used that material so I would think rings would break easily? Nice blog you have!

    I would also like to put in a vote for a tutorial - those rings are lovely, and would make such pretty presents. Any chance you can reveal your shrinky dink plastic source?
