Jodi made a bracelet out of Friendly Plastic and it was gorgeous. Except something major went wrong when we went to shape it and it got a major air bubble on the back side....
which made a major boo boo on the front side!
So....she left it here. Hrumph!!! Now, do you think that was a hint for me to fix it for her? OK, Ok.....I did it!!! First, I softened the bracelet in water and then put it on the griddle upside down and let it melt totally.
Then I took a flat mat (I actually used a cut mat from the Sidekick Diecutting machine), greased it up and flattened the back out until it was near perfect.
Next I pulled it off the Silpat sheet, flipped it over....and flattened out the top
Then I trimmed up the edges
By now, it's cool enough to handle and cut with scissors
A perfect fit - a perfect bracelet. Aren't her chevrons just wonderful?
So Jodi. Since you left it here...is it mine?
LOLOL!!!

I do love the chevrons. You must blog her method or link to her blog about the method.
Finders keepers.....

Hmmmmm........
Oh my gosh Jen.... I can't believe you corrected that. I honestly didn't leave it on purpose... I'm with Linda, fixers...keepers! I think it looks awesome on you. Thanks for the lesson!
Now Jodi....you know I'm just teasing you! It's here waiting for you. Well - I'm at mom's so it's at home....just call Kerry and stop by and pick it up - it's right there on the FP table! :o)
