Being in the upcycling arena and all, I don't usually get to work with stuff quite this cool. But I won some of this from the web site CraftGossip.com back in December, and I finally told myself I had to stop hoarding it and to use it! I also wanted some dangling earrings now that my hair is so very short.
So what is this stuff? I call it paper plastic or plastic paper because it has all the best qualities of both. It is durable, slightly flexible, and waterproof, with a holographic sheen, like a plastic. It is thin enough to be cut with ordinary scissors and is quite light, like paper. It's been easy and fun to work with. It's called Rowlux Illusion Polycarbonate .

So easy, in fact, that these are five-minute earrings.
Here is what I used:
1. I cut out circles. I used the paper punch, but it didn't go all the way through and instead left a circle imprint for me to cut out with my scissors, which was fine. I probably could have forced it, but I didn't want to since I use the circle paper punch all of the time when I make my Christmas ornaments.
