How to make: Overview
Each berry and leaf charm was hand-drawn, coloured, cut out and heated to make them shrink, thicken, and harden to make light-weight durable jewellery.

It all started with a sheet of shrink plastic.
2D charm plans were drawn and coloured in.
These were cut out and holes were punched to fit findings.
The cutouts were heated to shrink, and bent into 3D shapes while still hot.
Charms were threaded onto head pins to form blueberries.
Finally, the charms were assembled to make blueberry earrings!
Vimeo Create used to be really good at making video slide shows auto-magically. Here’s one just for the record, although the video itself is not that helpful 🤣
