Now that you have Inkjet Shrink Plastic 101 under your belt (if you don’t, click here to be whisked away to that information page to learn the basics of working with inkjet shrink plastic!), you are ready to forge ahead with new projects that center around inkjet shrink plastic! I mean, you kind of have to because you have multitudes of little plastic people and things sitting in a box because you couldn’t STOP cutting and shrinking because it was so much FUN! Am I right? Well, problem solved!
Did you ever catch lightning bugs and put them in a jar for an evening? In this workshop, you’ll recreate that lovely glow with tiny LED lights and your very own fairy that you construct from shrink plastic! You can have memories of a springtime garden or customize the contents of the jar to reflect different times of the year…think winter holidays, Easter, etc.! So many possibilities!
In this course you’ll learn:
- how to prep a glass jar and install the lighting mechanism.
- how to size the styrofoam base decorate it with a variety of materials.
- how to assemble the fairies so that they fit in the jar.
- how to assemble everything inside the jar…believe me, it’s easier than putting a ship in a bottle…or calculus…because EVERYTHING is easier than calculus in my opinion…
- how to create tiny hanging butterflies.
In this course you’ll receive the following:
- several hours of video instruction with “lifetime” access!
- two downloadable PDF sheets of imagery already prepped and ready to use with inkjet shrink plastic!
- access to private FB group to post pictures, chat, ask questions and meet classmates!
- downloadable instructions.
- special give-aways of materials and original art!
- loads of ideas and inspiration!
Supply list
Hover over highlighted words in blue to activate links..I’m a visual person…I like pictures of things! A full supply list for each workshop will be provided with completed registration, but I want you to know that there are a few supplies that are essential for completion of this project so that you may budget accordingly.
Grafix White INKJET Shrink Film (I do not recommend Shrinky Dinks Inkjet…I never could get it to print correctly, pieces stuck to themselves as they baked, the plastic didn’t flatten completely, and it smelled bad during baking.)
Toaster Oven (although you can shrink the plastic in your regular oven…I just like having dedicated craft appliances)
Access to an INKJET Printer (a laser printer will not work because it uses heat to set the ink and this heat might warp your shrink plastic)
Chalks or Pastels (these can be stick, Pan, or my favorite CarbOthello)
Mason jar with lid
Stryofoam ball
Artificial flowers, glass glitter or tinsel garland
Small Paintbrushes
Small Ceramic Tile
Spatula
