Inspired by the post HERE [and my own comment on that post giving a link to the instructions for making rings] and the FUNKY new Ink By Steph stamps (available at Spotlight), I decided to make some cool teen jewellery for Toby's girlfriend Shannen.
With some shrink plastic, a cheap necklace (bought in packs of 8 in the craft section of a local $2 shop), a jump ring, and stamps from the 'Skin & Bones' set I've made a necklace with matching ring. I used Stazon ink, and the pen line around the edge was drawn with a "The Scrapbook Pen" (available from Spotlight).
And then...because I just couldn't help myself, I decided to see if I could make a ring using the new 'Threading Water' punch... THIS one I'm keeping for myself !!
For anyone wanting to try to make a ring themselves, my original piece of shrink plastic was 12cm long and about 1" wide (allow more for the offcuts when using the Threading Water punch). To shape the ring I found that a lipstick case was a good fit for the ring I usually wear on that finger.

Gidday Cindy, it was great to see you at the Fiskars Garage Sale. Hey sorry I forgot to say goodbye - I was just itching to get out of there after queueing for an hour.....phew!!!!
You have been one busy lady.
Luv your jewellery. Great minds think alike. I made some skull/crossbone earrings too using Pink Paislee stamps. Must get around to photographing them.
Keep up the great work.
