Since I was granted late entry, I thought it was only appropriate to ask what charms were still needed and I was given the SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW! Wow, a rainbow, my favorite thing right now! So let';s begin.... it is super simple and not very time consuming!!!!
Here are the supplies I start with : a 10 pack of Shrinky Dink sheets (found at Michaels for $6.99), Sharpies to give my charm bright vivid colors, jump rings and spring clasps (swap requirements), pliers to hold and attach the jump rings, and MOST IMPORTANTLY a hole punch! You *MUST* punch the holes BEFORE you bake the Dinks!
I found a coloring sheet image on the net of a rainbow and colored it myself. Remember, the Shrinky Dinks shrink to 1/3 their original size, keep this in mind as you make your image. I colored and stamped on OVER THE RAINBOW, then cut around the shape and punched my hole. 
Bake at 325 for 3 minutes.
Here they are all shrunk after baking. I ALWAYS use Parchment Paper.
Assemble the jump ring and clasp after the cool off (about 10 minutes).
All ready to package and assemble! I will be mailing them to Ohio tomorrow morning!
TFL :)

ReplyDeleteSo cute. I remember these things from back in the day!
ReplyDeleteAdorable! I did 86 shrinky-dink charms for Creative Escape last year...can't believe I'm doing charms again for SIS Live...hopefully only about 30 or so...that way I can make them a little more elaborate.
ReplyDeleteAre you in Plant City, then? That's where our strawberries here in Michigan come from in the late winter ;)
So cute! Love shrinky dink charms. . .Played around with them over the summer making "hambly" shrinky dink charm necklaces. =)
ReplyDeleteRachel...I love these and your tutorial is great! Also love how you packaged your charms.
