Ok so i have heard in the past about people using snake shed to make phone cases and other stuff but does anyone know how? or where i might find such crafts?

I would really like to make stuff using the shed but all i can find is snake shed used on ladies nails which does look cool but not for me lol

Ive seen Before, people putting the skin over coloured cellophane / thin plastic slides and then putting them inside clear Perspex key rings. Think I saw them on eBay.
Or if you get complete untorn shed, you could cut it down the middle and place it on a white piece of card and frame it in a thick blak box frame? Kind of like web you see them on museum/art displays. If you wants to keep some of them around?

Or maybe offer them to your local nursery or school for then to use when having natural world or animal based project weeks or study periods?

Have you thought about setting them into resin.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MOULDCRAFT-WATER-CLEAR-CASTING-RESIN-500g-KIT-use-with-jewellery-plants-leaves-/261067205339

I'd be interested to see how that sort of thing would be achieved and turn out.
