Being creative with Shrink Plastic
I used it once as a child and LOVED it!
It is a sheet of plastic paper.
On it you draw your favorite comic character, drawing or picture.
You colour it with permanent ink pen.
Then you can cut it in any shape: the shape of the comic figure you love, in the shape of a hart or a star.... your imagination is the limit!
Want a hole in it? Then you use a hole puncher.
At last, you place your creation in the preheated oven and..... magic!
It shrinks and becomes the 5 times smaller version of what you put in the oven!
It also becomes 5 times thicker.
The result in a very strong ornament you then can use for jewelry, decoration, key hanger, anything!
I decided to make buttons, following the instructions of a fellow blogger:
I used her drawings and also a few found off the internet.
I also used some of my favorite comic characters like Idefix, Simon's cat, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet and many more as templates.
I did make some square buttons. I just divided the paper in 24 equal squares and rounded the edges a bit.
Here are the pictures of what came out of 3 days of drawing, cutting, shrinking:
Around 50 buttons of various shapes and drawings.....
Some of my favorite drawn characters!
The template at original size and the buttons after baking.
