My husband has been completely stressed at his job the last couple of weeks. All I can do for him is try to keep our house peaceful and let him know that we appreciate what he does for us. I decided to make a craft that Allie at No Time For Flash Cards posted as a Father's Day project. I wanted to make it back in June, but couldn't find the time to get to the craft store for the shrinky dink paper (do you remember that stuff? Awe to the some!). I thought it would be perfect for our current situation. Let me tell you, trying to get a 9 month old's foot print is no easy task! I should have read all the comments. Allie suggests using ink and stamping a baby's foot. I also left the shrinky dink paper in a minute or two too long. They really shrunk, but I am super happy with the outcome. My husband loved it!
So sweet! And, I bet it meant all the more being given randomly instead of for Father's Day.
ReplyDeleteHe did appreciate it more not knowing it was coming.

I didn't know that shrinky dink was still available. I love the project that you made with it. Very adorable.

Thanks everyone! I will be checking out all of your fun sites soon!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I'm going to try to make these. Did you use paint?! And if you did, did you paint them before or after baking in the oven? And what kind of paint? Oh, and another question, how much did they shrink down? Half the size? Smaller? I'm in love with this craft!
ReplyDeleteI would really like to know the answer to Bonnie's question as well! Did you paint before or after baking?
