Faux Seaglass Bracelet Class

We had the MOST fun on Saturday... working on our Faux Seaglass bracelets...  of course.. yes.. this is another SHARON IDEA!  :)  She helped me lead the class with instructions of how to make the faux seaglass pieces from Shrink Plastic!!

Oh ya, did I mention there was chocolate?

To aid in making the class a little quicker, I preshrunk and colored about 300 pieces for them to use, and they created the ones with the swirl impressions in class:

Rip the shrink plastic into pieces approx. 1-1/2"x3" and punch a hole with the large hole of the Crop A Dile, then shrink it with the heat tool.  While it's still hot, impress a swirly stamp into it (we used the swirls from Priceless).

Then mix reinker and crystal effects and paint it on the pieces... voila... faux seaglass!  It is amazing!

Then put jump rings through the holes and add them to bracelet chain.  We also added rhinestone brads and charms to ours!  LOVE THEM!!

Here are a few of them:

Oh Patty!! Fun Fun FUN!!!! And fabulous looking!!!
Thanks for sharing! Im digging in my pile looking for shrink plastic...!

This is just wonderful -- I am going on vacation next week and was looking for a project to bring for my nieces -- this is the one! Excellent project and pictures, as usual. Thanks!

Beautiful and looks like everyone had a great time.

How did you color she plain shrink plastic too look like seaglass - was this done before you shrunk it? It looks real!

Oh my goodness...I am runnin' out today! How adorable!!!

these are fantastic, Patty!!
I definitly will have to make a special trip to get some shrink plastic.

Makes me wish we still have SHRINK PLASTIC!! I love Shrinkys! I love this look..it is great!

I have "clear" shrink plastic that turns white and fuzzy when I shrink it...what brand do you use?

And how do you clean the CE off the brushes or keep it so it doesn't freeze up the brush while you're working?

These are beautiful!

What a fun project. I just love it. Thanks for the idea and continuous inspiration.

Simply GORJUSSSS! Love it! Where ever did you find the little word charms?

Looks like you ladies had fun...I always say stampers are just "big kids" having fun, doing art projects. :) I'll see you next week!

These are absolutely beautiful! It looks like your girl's had a great time making them. TFS:)

This is an incredible project!!!!!! Thanks for sharing. I'm looking for my shrink stuff as I type!!! HAHAHAHA

Cool project - they are beautiful! I was trying to figure out how the Dove chocolates played into making them...using the foil from them? NO? I got it! You ate them to make the project even MORE fun! LOL!

What a FUN class! I always loved the polyshrink...I still have a stash here. Will have to play!

These are great - where did you the neat bracelets - they look perfect for this project. - Maureen

What a great idea Patty! I love it. I'm definitely going to use this idea. Thanks so much for sharing.
