fun with shrink plastic: March 2012

This coming school holidays I will be holding some Shrink Plastic Workshops in a lovely studio space in East Malvern (details below). If you have ever wanted to give shrink plastic (often referred to as Shrinky Dinks) a try, here's your chance.

Shrink plastic is also the perfect craft to do at home with the kids in the holidays. It's great for rainy days, birthday parties, play dates and sleepovers.

I will have shrink plastic packs, kits and all the attaching bits for sale if you want to buy some to take home. It's a surprisingly clean and inexpensive craft to do using a regular oven.

All ages are welcome at the open workshop mornings - adults too.

I'll supply the plastic, decorating materials and attachments - you just come and enjoy the fun and watch your creations shrink. Bring a friend or two and take your time.

There will be loads of cutout shrink plastic shapes for you to decorate. Trace one of our images or invent your own. Use the materials provided to decorate your shapes, then we'll bake and shrink it.

I though I'd keep the mornings informal with a drop-in, pay-per-piece system for those wanting to try it out. $5.00 includes the use of all materials to make and decorate your shrink plastic piece finished off with either a stretch cord necklace, zip lanyard or bag tag attachment.

Bring Mum, Dad, Grandma or whoever if you are too young to stay on your own.

For those kids wishing to stay for up to 1 and a half hours for $20.00, I will keep you busy with fun projects. There's so much you can do with shrink plastic, and boys love it too!
