Floral shrinky keyrings

Hellooo, here's two keyrings I made inspired by Carol Quance over on the Paper Artsy Blog. I stamped the flowers onto shrink plastic using purple and teal stazon ink then cut them out and coloured one side with pansy or beach hut fresco paints and punched two holes in each one and shrank the flowers with my heat tool. Out came the melt pot. I dipped each piece in clear utee and smoothed off with heat tool, using wooden skewers to keep the holes clear.
Last was putting it together with beads, chain and jewellery findings. I made two as I wanted to make one as a present for my mum.

They look better in real it was hard to get a good photo.
