Did you think that Shrinky Dinks were just for kids?
We  we are going to make wine tags with them.
If you love to doodle, then I predict you will have a lot of fun making sets of tags to give as hostess gifts.
Here is what you’ll need:
Heat gun
Shrinky Dink sheets from the craft store
colored markers
jump rings
wire rings (I used pre-made pieces I purchased from the jewelry section of my local craft store)
needle nose pliers
hole puncher
Cut Shrinky Dink sheet about 2 inches square
Draw your images
Punch a hole in the top or corner
Shrink!
Tips:
Don’t create your tags any larger than a 2″ x 2″ square. Otherwise it will curl up and not lay flat.
Remember that each image shrinks down to about 50%.
Don’t forget to punch a hole in the image BEFORE you shrink it.
Keep your heat gun moving so than you don’t over heat it. It will burn.
Of course you can always use the oven. Just follow directions from the manufacturer.
Trivia: Shrinky Dinks were invented by 2 moms from Wisconsin in 1973. Wow! They are 40 years old!
