Instructions No. 1868With shrink film, great projects can be realized. How do you like our beautiful glittering earrings, for example? You can design these and other great pieces of jewellery very easily with a few simple steps. Because the material is easy to work with, both adults and children can create wonderful pieces of jewellery, key rings and pins.
Transfer the individual motifs onto the foil with a fine liner
When the contours are dry, you can color the areas. We have chosen to use brushpens so that the color is transparent. But you can also Felt-tip pens Coloured pencils use or to achieve a covering colour result
Cut out the individual wings and use a hole punch (attachment approx. Ø 4mm) to make a hole at the top of each wing.
Shrink the film according to the instructions on the packaging and let it cool down briefly. For the shrinking process, preheat your oven to 120 °C (top/bottom heat). The cut-out motif is placed with the painted side facing upwards on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Don't worry, it is quite normal for the film to curl partially during the shrinking process. When your piece of jewellery lies flat on the baking tray again, you can take the foil out of the oven
Tip: It is possible that the film has small waves after shrinking. You can easily smooth these out again with an iron.
The painted side is Clear varnish sealed with one. For iridescent effects simply apply a little Glitter Flaky Glue.
Finally, a large and a small wing are threaded one above the other onto a strip and everything is attached to one.
