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 🙂

I love your blog! Your shrinky rings are my favorite. I followed your tutorial but I’m still trying to figure out how you got yours to connect. Help please! I’m making Christmas gifts

Haley, they don’t connect – there’ll always be a small gap, which you wear on the inside of the ring. If you look at the 2nd photo from the bottom in the tutorial, you’ll see the gap 🙂

Hi, there!
Just wanted to thank you for your shrinky-dink ring tute—I run a summer art program for teen girls, and all 250 of them are obsessed with shrink plastic! This will make me exceedingly popular today…

I wouldn’t mind a tutorial too if possible 🙂 What is shrinky plastic? Never heard of the stuff, maybe we don’t have it here in the UK. And I _LOVE_ your crochet creations, really inspiring! Hmm, question is what will I create this wknd… Fingers are itching to make something new 😀

Thanks for sharing your ideas with others *hug*

Fantastic! I’ve done a couple of shrinky tutorials myself – but I never thought of rings. How do you get it to stick?

I would -love- to see a tutorial on those!

I use shrink plastic quite a bit, but have yet to attempt to make anything that isn’t completely flat!

Thanks, June!

I would love to know how you made these, I’ve never seen Shrinky Dinks before (I don’t even know if we can get them in the UK), so a tutorial would be awesome.

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?
