I had a chance to work on shrinky dinks this weekend, yay!A friend had seen my Bohemian Rhapsody bracelet with lyrics from the song on a shrinky dink and said her daughter would love that.
Her eleven year old is currently taken by the "boy band" One Direction.
So, I had fun playing around a little and will be stringing this focal up on a cute one strand stretchy bracelet for her.
I made a couple more that I'll make into backpack tags or zipper pulls she can give to her friends. The topcoat is drying now, so I should be able to put it together tomorrow. If you are interested in shrinky dinks, here's a previous post with more info.

I remember making things with shrinky dinks back in the day.. How fun.
I have never used shrinky dinks. I feel as though I've missed out on something grand! Now I'll have to go buy some and play. Anybody know where I can get some?
I first used them when I was little too for holiday ornaments. They are way too fun to limit to one season! Lacey, I highly recommend it! Should be able to find at Joanns or Michaels.
Lisa, do you have to use the oven? Could you use a heat gun instead?
Hi Lacey! They work perfectly in a toaster oven..about 3 minutes is all it takes. But, you can use a heat gun if that's easier for you. They have a tendency to want to fly around a little with a heat gun so experiment with something to hold it in place. Most importantly...enjoy the magic!
We cannot wait to see the final product! You are amazing, Lisa! Love, Maria and Katie
