Zip-ties part III: Shirley Temple curls.

Here comes the third in a series of fun jewelry made from zip-ties.  (You can visit the first two here and here.)  Today, just a quickie tutorial for some more zippy fun.

You will love this one!  It's a sproingy spiral curlicue:

You want those earrings, I know you do.  To make a Shirley Temple curl, wrap a zip-tie tight around something skinny...

Yeesh, my fingers got red.  You have to grip quite fiercely or this little thing will fly across the room.  Hold for five seconds (or until you lose your grip, whichever comes first), then let go.

That's it!  It will absorb the sproing and provide endless hours of fun.

I made a necklace, too...

It's called (...wait for it...) Shirley Temple Black and Blue.

Later, gators!
