A Wind Chime in Shrink Plastic Sheets

#v11598

The decorative wind chimes are made from shrink plastic sheets decorated with Groove coloured pencils and then shrunk in the oven. A Mandalas colouring book is used as a template for the patterns of the circle. There is also a template for the leaves. You can easily become totally absorbed with colouring the patterns. Choose a glossy high-quality polyester cord for hanging to ensure good motion in the wind chime,. Make sure to hang the leaves, so they hit each other when moving.

Comment faire

1. Put the Mandala design under the transparent shrink plastic sheet. Turn the shiny side down and draw on the rough side. Draw the design with a colouring pencil and fill in. Draw the leaves in the same way using the template and fill in.

2. Cut out the designs. Make holes with revolving punch pliers.

3. Put the design in a preheated oven at 130C for a few minutes. Stay by the oven whilst the design shrinks for approx. 1 minute and take it out of the oven when the design has straightened again.
