With these cute Witchy Danglies...
I'm ready to P-A-R-T-Y!!!

I wouldn't call myself a jewelry person...but I do like to dabble and play with beads and baubles. The VLVS! Witch Costume #18901 is the perfect character to create some shrinky dink festive earrings for All Hallows Eve...they just scream "TRICK or TREAT"!!! 

Aside of the fussy cutting, the process is pretty easy. I prepared my shrink plastic according to manufacturers instructions by lightly sanding the surface. I stamped the Witch using Black StazOn ink twice and fussy cut out. Then I colored with my Bic Mark-It permanent markers in a stipple fashion to limit bleeding/blurring of ink. Using a 1/16" hole punch, I punched holes to receive wire for beading and hanging. 

Time for the magic - I placed my cuties on chipboard in the toaster oven on the lowest toast setting and watched closely to remove as soon as the shrinking is complete. It takes just about a minute. **A TIP** I prefer the toaster oven opposed to my heat gun because the heat gun is very hot and violently accelerates the shrinking and warps the plastic so it never really is completely flat. In the toaster oven the plastic returns completely flat after shrinking process completes. It's so fun to watch... PRESTO...CHANGE-O! I finished off by wire wrapping the tops to accept earring dangles and stringing some sparkly orange and clear seed beads at the bottom of each. Now I'm ready to PARTY!!!
