Shrink Film Father’s Day Key Chain

KeyChain
Now that Mother’s Day is behind us, Father’s Day is right around the corner!   Check out this easy and adorable key chain for dad to carry with him every day!   Using Shrink Film that I purchased at ACMoore, I let my boys write their names and a little saying and draw little pictures just for dad!

Once they were finished, I cut them out, leaving just a little extra film in one spot so that I could punch a hole to attach it to the key chain.   I just used a regular hole punch to punch the hole.

You definitely want to make sure that you punch your holes before you put it in the oven for shrinking!   Take a look at the before and after photos.  It just amazes me how much they shrink! baking
Once they were cooled, I used jump rings, round nose pliers and a key chain to put my Father’s Day key chain together!

I love how this key chain turned out and can’t wait to give it to my amazing husband!

Sculpey Alien Magnets

aliens
Everyone loves a good magnet, especially to hang up the kid’s art work!  I created these awesome Sculpey Alien Magnets inspired by Laura Kelly’s Alien and Cosmic Cafe Printables.  

Materials needed:
Sculpey (I prefer Bake Shop)
Clay tools
Laura Kelly’s Alien and Cosmic Cafe Printables
Magnets
Glue
printables
My friend Laura is an incredible artist.  She designed these Alien and Cosmic Cafe Printables.  You can get your own at www.shoplaurakelly.com.  I think they are absolutely adorable!

Sculpey’s Bake Shop Oven-Bake Clay is super fun and easy to work with!  And it doesn’t take long to bake and harden!  Using clay tools, I rolled out my clay and cut shapes that resembled a few of the aliens that I created with the printable.  I rolled out my dots and then put everything together!   I didn’t want two aliens that were the same color, so I added some white clay to my green to lighten it up.

Once my aliens were baked, hardened and cooled, I added magnets to the backs using Aleene’s Max Tacky Adhesive.  I let the glue dry and then hung my awesome Alien Magnets on the refrigerator!
