It’s Show and Tell day on homework and this shrinky dink jewelry made by Cathe Holden of Just Something I Made is amazing.
What a great idea to use shrinky dinks and vintage images to make beautiful bracelets and necklaces.
Cathe shares the step-by-step process on her blog post but basically, she scanned vintage items and printed them out on shrinky dink sheets made for an ink jet printer. I had no idea shrinky dinks had gone high tech…
She then trims the shrinky dink images, bakes them and creates the jewelry pieces.

I had already bookmarked this page over at JSIM! It is such a good idea. Thanks for reminding me.
