Thank you! You won't believe what happened to these, though...I had sealed them with Mod Podge, and after I had worn them a couple of times, the topcoat cracked. The entire finish began to peel off! They were ruined, until I sandpapered them and re-painted a different theme completely. I painted the galaxy pattern onto another pair of (canvas) boots, though. I have to post some pics of both pairs.

You're welcome, Lacey! It looks so cool; I love melted crayon art!

Thanks Vermin Jerky! Thank you for coming up with such a cool project in the first place :)

Thanks everyone, for the comments!

DAllas F, put up some pix when you're done! I loved the Smurfs when I was little.

Awesome, post a pic when you're done :)

Incredible job!!!

Thank you, Zombie Babe!
XO

LOL Hannah!

Thanks, Zombie Babe!

This is beautiful. Fantastic job!

Hilarious!

Nathan, you sound like an absolute sweetheart. I love your projects, too! XO

Oops, disregard that comment.

LMAO! The cat's expression is priceless.

I must be half asleep. This was supposed to be "versionfied", but this is how it published. I also spelled applied wrong ;)

Awesome! I love the greys and the purples.

Thank you Jet!

Thank you, Jet!

Thank you Biblohip!

Thanks Sondra (and Ezme, sorry a few years late...for some unknown, glitchy reason, CO+K would not let me post comments for a long time)!

Thanks, Lucia!

Thank you :)

So cute! I love shrink plastic.

COOL!!! I need to try this!

So gorgeous!!

You're welcome Stephanie, thanks for putting yours up in the first place! He loved it--he was really surprised when he opened it!!

DarkAshHurts,
Thank you! I agree, I would really like to see more hand-drawn ATCs too. I would love to do a card swap! Let's chat.

Thank you, Special! (sorry it took me forever to comment).

Thank you, Sugarlishes! I hope you guys do some zombie ATCs, too!

Thank you, Lo and violetta!

Ya know something...I apologize. I never gave the instructions for making the actual piece of jewelry, only the macaroni beads. The title of this project is misleading. And the last photo shows a bracelet, not a necklace! Sorry, crafters!

This is awesome!!

I finally got around to doing this project, and I love the way they came out! Thanks again for the tutorial.

WOW!! Seriously one of the greatest costumes I have ever seen! GREAT job!

Twilight lover,
Great idea! They're portable :)

OMG awesome!!!

Cool, I love how they came out!

Amazing, this came out beautiful!

Let's see a tute for the plastic silverware one, chase!

I LOVE Donnie Darko, this is a cool necklace.

I've seen the toothbrush ones, but not the plastic silverware ones--those sound cool!

This is gorgeous!

Elli, this is majorly addicting, you can really go nuts with it :)

Beautiful, I love the texture

Thank you!

Very cool, I love tattoo-inspired art/crafts!

Those are so cool!

Awesome!

Beautiful job!!

You're welcome!

LOL Thanks so much, Taz!

I am working on some new ones (when I can fit it in between work and everything else) so you'll see some new stuff soon. I am so glad you guys like these projects.

You guys, thanks so making this featured! You are spoiling me ;D

Cat, it isn't really shrunk so much as the heat makes it soft enough to cut.

Taz, that is cool that you got a bunch of vinyl! I really wouldn't try it in the oven because of the fumes. Definitely get yourself a heat gun since you can use it for other projects.

Bubbles is the man. TPB rules!

DIS.AR.RAY,

yeah it looks complicated, but somewhere in there was a clasp, it's hard to see it. My wrist is tiny so I could just slip it on.

I think you can do the shrink plastic in a toaster oven, haven't tried it though!

Looks awesome!!!

Of course I don't mind, thank you!

No prob Jessie, I've been going nutty with these projects lately!

It is fun and Cat yes, it does feel cool!

I think I may have to learn how to crochet so I can do this!

Thank you so much for making this the featured project!!

Lady Lolita,

So far it hasn't!

Oops, I tried converting this to a How-To and managed to miss part one? sorry everyone, all the steps are here tho!

Thanks everybody! I had so many tuts on my blog, I needed to share. I'm working on some new ones too.

Glad you like this! Imagine what you could do with a huge poster board and different colored caps, too.

Thank yas!

Yeah, the microwave thing does look scary--but if you only put it in for a few seconds, it shouldn't kill anything. At least, I've been able to do this successfully a number of times!

Thanks! I love shrink plastic, it is one of my favorite materials to work with.

Thank you!

You are welcome, Cat! Glad you enjoyed it.
