I was inspired by this and my love of playing with shrinky dinks to create this project. I used a sheet of white shrink film. I had it left over from an angel place card/ornament project my niece and I made several years ago.
This was an easy project with cute results.
Supplies:
- 8 1/2 inch x 11 inch sheet of shrink film (plastic)
- Permanent marker
- Exacto knife or other craft knife
- Scissors
- Cookie sheet
- Parchment paper
- Oven
- Embroidery floss
Step 1: Use a permanent marker to draw your image and holes for embroidery floss on a piece of shrink film.
Step 2: Use an exacto or craft knife to cut-out holes for embroidery floss.
Step 3: Use scissors to cute around shape.
Step 4: Put shape to be shrunk on a cookie sheet between two pieces of parchment paper.
Step 5: Bake in a 335 degree oven for about 2 – 3 minutes. The shape will curl up and then become flat again. When the shape is flat, it is done. (Follow directions that come with shrink plastic)

How cute! I collect sheep — dolls and figurines, not live ones.

Thank you! I also have a collection of assorted sheep items – book ends, pillows, magnets, etc…

That really is cute (and would save loose pieces of floss from ending up in the vaccuum!).
