I started making some shrink plastic owls and four leaf clovers as good luck charms for my daughters for their forthcoming exams. Then to fit this week's theme I decided to diecut a K with my Sizzix Bigz Sassy Serif out of black shrink plastic. It's stamped with a selection of oriental stamps from Oak House Studio in gold Brilliance. It's shrunk to about 2" high so its a bit big for a charm but I'm sure it'll get used for something else.
Then my daughter Katie decided she liked the outer waste better so I decorated that and shrunk it but.... one of the inner bits tied itself in a knot and I can't get it to lie flat. I guess it's my fault for naming her with a K but at the time I wasn't thinking of shrink plastic...in fact I'd never heard of it.
Anyway I'm hoping to get the rest of the charms done later in the week so pop back and take a look!
Hi Elaine, nice to meet you in blog land! What a great idea to make charms, love the K, my number one daughter is a K too! I don't think it is too big for a charm, in fact would help me find my keys if it went on a key ring, I'm always putting them in my bag and losing them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever idea and love the stamps you have used. Never tried shrink plastic before looks like fun
