Shrinky dinky do dah's!



Hello, hello, I hope you are all fine and well, and enjoyed a wonderful weekend?

We had a marvelous one thank you, as we helped to celebrate a dear friends 40th Birthday. I decided to make a few little gifts to take along to the party, (just for the girls).

You know how it is when girls get together, you have a glass of wine and a good old natter, you put your glass down and forget who's is who's . You have to play guess the lipstick on the side of the glass don't you? Well no more guess the lipstick for us!

Yes the old shrinking plastic was dragged out of the cupboard.


Give me some felt tips and a hammer and I'm quite happy.



I've never used this plastic before, so I wasn't sure how much it shrunk.



I couldn't resist making some bunting, and having a play around, oh the possibilities are endless with this stuff!


(so cute)

I was pleased with how the name tags turned out, just the right size. I threaded them on to some thin wire. Added the hearts, some beads and a little ribbon to give them the finishing touch.


And popped them each in an envelope to take along,


And I'm pleased to say everyone loved their glass charms, they went down a treat.



Cheers! xx
