I am not going to give directions on how to prepare plastic bags for crocheting.
You can google "how to crochet plastic bags" for those directions) -
Earrings and Bracelet
Chain desired length to go around wrist; enough to be able to slip around wrist without using a clasp. Do not join. Fasten off. -
With wax paper, wrap around chain and iron to fuse. Just go over about one or two times on both sides.
Do not let iron touch chain.
Wait about a minute to cool. If you move right away, it wil break apart. -
Fuse ends together. (use wax paper, do not let iron touch plastic).
-
Repeat directions for for earrings. Make chain to desired size.
-
Paint with desired color. Preferably paint or spray paint made especially for plastic. You
can spray with a clear glossy spray paint for finishing. -
Add jump ring to circle. Add to fish hook earrings.
