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?
