Now that you have Inkjet Shrink Plastic 101 under your belt (if you don’t, click here to be whisked away to that information page to learn the basics of working with inkjet shrink plastic!), you are ready to forge ahead with new projects that center around inkjet shrink plastic! I mean, you kind of have to because you have multitudes of little plastic people and things sitting in a box because you couldn’t STOP cutting and shrinking because it was so much FUN! Am I right? Well, problem solved!
I don’t know if you have noticed, but there are SO many paper doll downloads available these days! I thought it would be lots of fun to use shrink plastic instead of paper and create miniaturized versions! We will joint them and then decide on the best way to display/use them…in a box, on a chain, as a pin? We will also revisit the paper dolls that came with wardrobe changes! So many possibilities! (Imagery in sample photos from Paper Whimsy, Calico Cat)
In this course you’ll learn:
- how to cut and punch holes before shrinking the plastic.
- how to assemble your dolls.
- how to add rare earth magnets for wardrobe changes.
- how to create spaces to house and display your dolls.
In this course you’ll receive the following:
- 5 instructional videos with “lifetime” access!
- three downloadable PDF sheets of imagery already prepped and ready to use with inkjet shrink plastic!
- access to private FB group to post pictures, chat, ask questions and meet classmates!
- downloadable instructions.
- special give-aways of materials and original art!
- a plethora of ideas and inspiration!
Supply list
Hover over highlighted words in blue to activate links..I’m a visual person…I like pictures of things! A full supply list for each workshop will be provided with completed registration, but I want you to know that there are a few supplies that are essential for completion of this project so that you may budget accordingly.
Grafix White INKJET Shrink Film (I do not recommend Shrinky Dinks Inkjet…I never could get it to print correctly, pieces stuck to themselves as they baked, the plastic didn’t flatten completely, and it smelled bad during baking.)
Toaster Oven (although you can shrink the plastic in your regular oven…I just like having dedicated craft appliances)
Access to an INKJET Printer (a laser printer will not work because it uses heat to set the ink and this heat might warp your shrink plastic)
Chalks or Pastels (these can be stick, Pan, or my favorite CarbOthello)
Small box or tin
Refrigerator magnets
Small Ceramic Tile
Spatula
