I HAVE TURNED THEM INTO CHARMSSSSSSSS

[hard-times-paramore]

Plural arts and crafts!

Y'all know I have made a lot of plural friends, especially after getting into the Iron Lung fandom and writing my plural fanfic Afterimage about it.

So I had a fun idea to make for my plural friends! Meet the Front Indicator charms!

Obviously I had this idea because of @thepluckycharms ' system name, to whomst I'll be shipping those charms posthaste.

I made those utility charms and also one charm for each of their headmates, using shrinky dinks. You know, that plastic paper that hardens in the oven and you can make keychains and pendants with.

You can clip them to bracelets or necklaces that you're wearing and display your headmates or front status in a covert way! That way only people who know your headmates will know what they truly mean, and to everyone else it will be pretty nondescript pendants and fandom merch.

This would definitely be difficult with hugelarge systems of hundreds of alters, but even those can use the utility ones. And the act of making little arts and crafts that mean something personal and specific to you is very rewarding.

All you need are clasps, chainlinks, shrink paper and a bracelet!

Time to make some pins that aren’t enamel! :D

These are just basic introductions to different materials...there’s so much to each of these they really need their own guide OTL

I’ve made aaaaalmost everything listed, just not shrink paper and laser cutting. If you can get your hands on a badge press I can highly recommend! It’s a great starter pin with so many options if you can find cool paper or films

Nail art supplies are a good source for little things that can go in badges, the first holographic film I used was for nail art. Toner reactive foil is also neat If you want to make shiny gold things!

something I personally do for every acrylic, wood and enamel design is a print test. This is to check the size and see what bits are hard to read or so small they aren’t needed. I find it can be tricky to visualise size looking at a screen, it’s a quick way to make it a tangible object

really gotta stress how important knowing the material is. I’ve had issues with every material, but sometimes the solution is as simple as me stuffing up or a miscommunication.

But yeah these are all just the basics, look around for guides specifically on each of these. I miiiight do one for printed acrylic though? maybe
