im glad children's day is (almost) over but i reli enjoyed preparing for it with PP :) somehw, we kinda like this "factory-style" making of little things for people...its quite satisfactory and meaningful la! :)
i tot i did a tutorial here but now that i look at it, it does not seem very helpful, so i shall elaborate more. the materials i used can be found here..i also bought "made with love" bronze charms which i purchased from Lai Guan Beads Mart (also at People's Park).
to use the shrink plastic, you first need to learn how to print on an A5 sheet of paper:) thats easily done using PPT. after clicking print, go to properties and change the paper size :) test print on a draft paper first!!remember also to print it 20-30% brighter (use your own discretion) because the colour becomes more solid after shrinking:)
cut cut cut the different rectangles up (i fitted 9 per sheet). punch the holes at the corners and cut curved edges if you like. then, put to bake while keeping a watchful eye on it. the moment it stops moving/shrinking-turn off the oven/toaster! let it cool/harden,hook up the handphone strap with the charm and you are good to go!~
p.s. i need to make a few more for some students who popped up! i make it in batches of 9 and ive got so many empty "slots". would u like one, or give a friend one? let me know if you do! i can customise the message at the back too~ if not, it will read: "Its a joy to have you in my class :) Happy Children's Day!"
