Anyway here's my attempt at making charms, I didn't have enough to make into a bracelet so added a few other bits & bobs and went with a bag charm. Not perfect but I've learnt alot in the process. I did have a problem with the paint flaking when I shrank the SP so if anyone has some tips for next time. (promise I wont use green or blue next week lol)
This looks really pretty, Sarah. I find I use blue and green lots, especially at the moment because it makes me feel cool in this heat. I love your colour choices! Julie Ann x
ReplyDeletegreen and blue are colours I end up going to a lot of the time. try watering the paint down a little next time Sarah. this looks fab!
ReplyDeleteYour charm looks beautiful! As to the paint flaking, as Carol said I used mine quite watered down and it didn't flake. Also I made sure I sanded the plastic in all directions as uniformely as I could and maybe it helped.
ReplyDeleteLooks great and charming
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I love all the different charms & beads Sarah.

This is fab, one of the nicest I've seen. I think a bag charm is a good idea. I love the shapes you have chosen! I have used SP for a long time - don't know if this will help but I changed over to the hairdryer style of heatgun and this helped a lot. I use the Shrinkles brand of SP for children. If you are doing a lot of pieces, like with the charms, you could try the oven as it saves time,

I haven't use SP -- this charms would make great embellishment for homemade art journals!
