Did you play with Shrinky Dinks as a kid? I did and I love them! Well, now you can play with them as an adult and create projects for yourself like this darling dangling bag charm. Shrink plastic sheets come in different colors like black, white and clear that you can stamp and color on!
For the bag charm Natsha used a wooden stamp of a rainbow and flowers, stamping it in Intense Black Ink on clear shrink plastic. She used liquid watercolor to color the image in, punched a hole at the top and cut the image out.
She then used her heat embossing gun to shrink the plastic, you can also use an oven like the old days but carefully follow instructions for safety and health details. Once the charm was done she added a jump ring and put it on a clip with a Shrinky Dink sentiment and lots of fun beads and other charms for a wonderful key ring or bag charm.
