shrinky dink pins

I was inspired by Craftlog to buy some shrinky dinks at the hobby store to play with. I was going to make some buttons to go out with my orders. Instead I got sidetracked by making fancy pinheads. After trying to melt the shrinky dink on top of a pinhead I realized, duh, you can stick a flat headed pin *through* the colored, cut out shrinky dink shapes and then put it in the oven together and voila! So fun! I'm excited to have a project to work on in the kitchen while Oscar is poking at his food. I'm going to send some out with each of the pincushion auctions that are ending today.

And here's a new lily pad pincushion I made.
