Hello everyone!! Today I would like to show you a fun and creative way to use your stamps. This is a quick way to make your own style of key-chain; it is also a great way to add a little flair to your planner or your keys.
To start this project I began by stamping the two flowers from the anemone coronaria stamp set form Altenew with StazOn Opaque Cotton White Ink on some Shrinky Dinks. I also stamped one of the large butterflies from ART C. Once I finished my stamping I used the coordinating die cuts to cut out the flowers and the butterflies. I also used my crop-a-dile to make a hole on the edges of the images.
Once I finished making the holes on the images I used my heat gun to apply the proper heat to make the shinky dinks shrink. You could also use a toaster oven to heat them up so they can shrink. The shrinky dings will shrink 1/3 of the original image. After I finished shrinking all the images I attached some findings together to make the chain; I used 16 findings but you could make it as long or as short as you like. Since I had four images I decided to place them at every 4th place. To open the findings I used a tiny pair of needle nose pliers used for jewelry.
To finish I applied a layer of clear nail polish so that the image won't rub away.
I hope you give this little project a try; I would love to see some pictures if you do give it a try tag me on Instagram at @n.r.bcrafts
