I love coming up with creative Valentine's Day gifts and this year I thought it would be fun to make cute little heart pins from shrink plastic.
Shrink plastic is a really fun and easy material to to use to create all kinds of accessories!
I starting by filling a sheet of shrink plastic with a quick floral pattern.
Next I cut hearts out of the plastic.
Keep in mind that the plastic will shrink about 50%
I added a little more color to the hearts.
Then I baked the shrink plastic into the oven at 350 degree for about 1-2 minutes.
Lucy even got in on the fun and made some pins with her fabulous drawings.
The last step was to glue pins to the back of the hearts.
I created simple little cards to pin the hearts to and voilà! A fun little Valentine's Day gift!
Looking for more Valentine's Day inspiration?
Love, love, love. I'm still waiting for you to put some of those orange flower shrink plastic rings in your shop :-)
