Shrink Plastic Brooch

My new craft love...shrink plastic. I was surprised to see how much fun these things really are to make! Using just frosted shrink paper, colored pencils, and a microwave oven, creating a customized brooch is very easy. The opposite side is felted, and a pin back was applied to the back.

You Can Never Have Too Many Brooches

Handmade Brooch

I love collecting brooches...but making my own is a whole other story. This brooch is made from wood with one of my drawings transferred to it surrounded by lace. I have grown very fond of this and decided to put one up on Etsy for someone else to adore.

Hope everyone is having a lovely summer! The heat here is exhausting me!
