Friendly Plastic...
Spiral Rings
1
Cut desired colors Friendly Plastic into 1/4” x 3” strips. Cut a silicone baking sheet liner into 3/4” x 4 1/2” strips. Find a cylinder that is the approx. circumference of your finger.
2
Place the silicone strips onto the per-heated griddle. Center and position the plastic strips along one edge of the silicone strips. Allow the plastic to soften. Tip: If the ends of the plastic start to curl... lightly press them down onto the silicone strip.
3
One at a time... remove the silicone strip from the griddle. Holding on to one end, position the silicone strip at a slight angle on the cylinder.
4
Slowly wrap the silicone strip around the cylinder, closely overlapping the edges as you create the spiral.
5
Securely hold on to the end of the silicone strip as you dip the cylinder into a bowl of ice cold water. Hold under the water for a minute or two, while the plastic hardens.
6
Remove from the water and slide the cylinder out.
7
Next remove the silicone strip.
8
Dry the ring off using a paper towel.
9
Repeat the process for each ring.
10
For a bit of added charm... attach a dangle. Using a 1/16� hole punch... punch a hole through the ring.
11
Create a loop using a head pin.
12
Choose your desired dangles. A mix of beads and tiny charms, are perfect for this.
13
Attach the dangles using a jump ring.
14
Plain or fancied up, these are as much fun to wear as they are to make.
