Shrink Plastic Necklace

I was sent a sample of Shrink Film from Grafix. I was so excited to see the film in silver and gold. I wasn't aware of the color options. The gold was such a nice color for jewelry making. The technique I used was so simple and easy to do and the result is one of my favorite pieces.

Finish

To finish it off I used a black spacer bead and a gold crystal. Gold wire was used to join the pieces together and it hangs from an adjustable waxed cord in black.
