About the event
Hi Everyone! Details: This is the only Shrinky Dink workshop experience in Amsterdam! Shrinky dinks is an art form that uses sheets of special plastic that shrink and contract when they are heated. The sheets can be drawn on and coloured with marker pens and cut with scissors. When they are heated they shrink into cute little charms that can be made into key chains, earings, jewellry, lapel pin badges and fridge magnet. These were really popularity in the 1980s but they are currently making a come back! Draw you favourite cartoon character or picture on the plastic and then shrink it. Cover it in UV resin to dry and then attaché them to earring badges pins and keychains! Make beautiful and unique gifts for your loved ones.
