Stacked star earrings

You will need:
  • Shrinky Dink Plastic, in whatever color or, style you want. Here I have used black, white and, frosted.
  • Colored Pencils if you’re using frosted
  • Permanent markers
  • Crayon for white and black (to trace shapes)
  • Scissors
  • Brown paper (from a bag preferably)
  • Stencils
  • Oven set to 325
  • cookie sheet
*Tip* Setting your oven or convection oven, 10 to 15 minutes before you bake. 5 minutes before you bake place the cookie sheet in the oven with the brown paper on top, this helps all the pieces bake evenly.
Here we go!!
Taking your sheets trace your shapes out. For frosted; use a permanent marker. In order to make stacked stars or any other stacked shape, they must be in different sizes.
For white, black or any other solid color (almond and brown) use a crayon. For whatever reason these are slicker than the frosted and, clear. The permanent markers run before drying.

Spray the pan very lightly with non stick spray.

place carefully in your oven. Rearrange your pieces incase they have moved.

Bake for 10-20 mins… until the pieces look melted.
Using a pen, open up any holes that have closed.. DO THIS BEFORE REMOVING FROM PAN OR ALLOWING TO COOL!!
Remove from pan. Allow to cool, wipe off excess spray. Some of the red may come off.
