Hi there! I made these cute earrings at the weekend using Bee Crafty stamps and shrink plastic. Here's how I made them
I began by stamping the largest bee twice onto clear sanded shrink plastic.Next I used a hole punch to add holes between the antennae. I cut around the bees leaving a small border, and the holes at the top to attach them to the earrings. Once the ink was definitely dry I coloured them using coloured pencils.
Using tweezers and a Heat tool I shrunk the bees. You can watch the video of them shrinking here
I added jump rings through the holes and threaded 3 beads onto each of the eye pins.using round nosed pliers and wire cutters I created a loop at the top of the eye pin and fastened the ear hooks and bees to either end.Here are the earrings again
I used:
Bee Mine stamp set
Brilliance ink
clear or frosted shrink plastic , sanded on one side so it can be inked and coloured
Coloured pencils
2 eye pins
2 ear hooks
2 jump rings
6 beads
round nosed pliers and wire cutters
Thanks for looking!
