Shrink Plastic Key Chains with Lavinia Stamps

Hello Dear friends and fans of "Lavinia" Stamps!:

Another challenge over at Lavinia's Challenge Blog, starts this month with the teme: "anything but a card"

Here it is my take ...for my DT assigment....
make some key chains with "Shrink Plastic" using the adorable "Lavinia Stamps"...

Here I used them on my painting bag....


as extra little adornments to my key chain ....


You will need :
- shrink plastic,
- a heat gun,
- a metal "stick" (I used a needle for crochet),
- a heat resistant metal surface, I Placed under my metal tray a towel and a craft sheet,
- a hole punch for the hole
- and of course the Stamps...


Rabbit:
left is the result of the "shrink-ed" size
right is the original size of the shrink plastic before heating...
same for the other 2 images on the jar....

STEPS:
First, I die cut the shapes
then I stamped the images on the surface with black archival ink ...
be aware that the surface is very slippery so stamp carefully ...
 then heat with heat gun, holding the item through the punched hole with the needle...

NOTE: let the plastic curled ...it will  flatten by itself!!!

The end result....
a mini version of the original size in a hard plastic...great for embellishments or here as key chains...



The second set I used  it on my scissors to identify them from my other students in class...





or can be used as embellishments on your handmade cards...
card made using the same stamp...



Tempt your luck 
and enter any project 
made with Lavinia's stamps, 

you could be the winner of £40.00

Good luck 
and thanks for the visit,

  18. Hi Bibiana,
    what wonderful makes.
    Love the fab design of those stamps, and they look so great in the shrink plastic.
    I haven't used shrink plastic for years, so I must give this a try.
    Sadly I don't own any of Lavinia Stamps, but will try it with some I do own.
    Have just received my winning die from Memory Box so thank you to you, and Memory Box for this.
    There were some wonderful American Stamps on the envelope so you know where they will be ending up don't you.
    Love and biggest hugs from my house to yours.
    Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
