I’ve been on a shrinky dink roll. After making this bee shrinky dink necklace, I ordered 50 sheets of clear shrinky dink. Mainly because I knew I wanted to make Luna Moth inspired necklace.
I love my bee necklace more but this one is fun too.
I know Luna Moth’s don’t have spots but I liked the technique. I used alcohol ink diluted in alcohol to tint the shrinky dink and a Q-tip dipped in the ink to add dots.
Thank you!! I forgot about shrinky dink for a long time. It’s a lot fun and right now is easy enough for me to drum up the motivation I need to sit down and craft.
Hmm…really? What were you using on it? I have some old shrink plastic ornaments the kid and I made years ago and the sharpie is still going strong. I wonder if there is some type of spray that wouldn’t cause the ink to run that would provide extra protection? Hmm…may need to experiment.
I’ve used all sorts of things, sharpies, coloured pencil, stamps. I’ve tried some sealing spray but it’s always been a mess. I’ll try again. Your projects look amazing, totally worth the effort to figure out what I’ve been doing wrong.
Well dang it. That would be frustrating. I did read that if you try to use clear coat to do several rounds of “dry” spray. So in other words, lightly dust it with the spray, let dry, and repeat a thousand times. I’m going to test the method.
