Stamped Mason Jar Shrinky Dink Pendants Tutorial :: by Shona Cole

Mason Jar Shrinky Dink Pendants
by Shona Cole
Featuring Wee Mason Jars
And other Clear Stamps

Step 1 – Stamp Wee Mason Jar onto a sheet of Shrinky Dink plastic. "Fill" the jar with another image, such as hearts from "Live to Love" clear stamps by Rebecca Sower or "Art Saves" clear stamp.

Step 2 – Color the images with chalk or pastels, you need to use only a very light dusting of chalk

Step 3 – Trim the image

Step 4 – Punch a hole in the top of the image

Step 5 – Hold a heat tool or hair dryer straight above the image and let the heat shrink the plastic. As the plastic shrinks it will curl up. You may need to hold a pencil or craft knife in your other hand to guide the image flat and keep it from folding in on itself completely. It will be very hot, so use caution when shrinking your image.

Step 6 – When the image has shrunk, thread a jump ring though the hole and attach to a chain.
