Last night was the Cosmo Blog Award Party! So today I'm nursing a sore head in the studio, drinking lots of coffee, and getting excited over the prospect of a baked potato. (very excited) I've got to say, the best part of the evening was meeting so many other fantastic bloggers from so many different categories. I must admit, I'd never visited a lot of the blogs from the shortlist, but I'm planning on getting through a few this evening and post my favourites later.
In today's Two minute I've experimented a little with spray paints and dipping ink to create the effects on the shrink plastic. I haven't used sand paper on these (mostly because I'm lazy) and also because I wanted to created a textured effect with the paint reacting to the heat as well.
Instructions:
Using the template from this necklace DIY cut out two triangle in clear shrink plastic / cut out a smaller triangle from the middle, leaving around 1cm boundary / spray, paint or draw onto the shrink plastic / heat according to instructions (read my guide here) / attach the triangles to chain using jump rings.
Have a great weekend. I'm back on Sunday with my Cosmo blog party outfit post and a few sneak previews from our first photo shoot for Check my box. Fran xx
I finally want to try shrink plastic now, haha, I've passed by it so many times in the aisles.

Yeah, it's not that easy to find around here either. We normally go for the internet. Give it a go!
