Turkey Earrings With Grafix Shrink Film

Do you like to wear fun earrings for the holidays? I always see them in the stores for Halloween and Christmas but not sure I have ever seen any for Thanksgiving. So I made some!

I thought the Crackerbox Stamps Turkey Goofy was so cute and that he would make adorable earrings. So using StazOn Ink in Jet Black, I stamped the turkey twice on a sheet of Grafix Shrink Film in Matte.

Then, I colored the turkeys in with Derwent Procolour Pencils and then fussy cut them out. You will get a richer color with pencils once it's shrunk than you will with markers.

After I fussy cut them out, I then punched a small hole in the top of the turkey. *Make sure to punch the hole BEFORE shrinking.

Next, using my heat tool, I shrunk the turkeys. I used a stick to hold the turkey while shrinking and as it shrinks it will curl all up but will flatten back out once it shrinks down to size. To make sure it is good and flat, while it is still hot place something flat on the top as it cools.

The photo below shows how much they shrunk from the original stamp size.

and here my daughter is being my model wearing the cute turkey earrings.

Shrink films are so much fun and easy to do. Grafix has several different types too. I wanted more of a solid base so I went with the matte but could of also probably used the white.
