I am joining a group of my crafty friends to share tutorials for Summerween. Have you not heard of Summerween? No worries. Summerween is a fun, unofficial celebration that blends summer vibes with Halloween. It has become especially popular on social media, Etsy, YouTube, and among crafters who enjoy spooky themes year-round.
Ritzy Parties will start us off on August 4th
Me on August 5
Sassy Eyed Susan on August 6
Juanita’s Casita on August 7

I created these cute vampires to transfer to Shrink Film in order to make a pair of festive earrings. If you would like the image you can grab the free PDF file below.

The image above shows the difference between the original design on the right and the finished piece after shrinking on the left. As the Shrink Film is heated, it typically shrinks to about half its original size while becoming thicker and more durable.
After the pieces had fully shrunk and cooled, I adhered coordinating paper to the backs for a finished look. I then sealed both sides with a coat of Mod Podge to protect the design and add durability. Finally, I attached the jewelry findings and black glass beads, creating a pair of lightweight earrings that are ready to wear.
