Shrinky Dink Charms: Downton Abbey Peeps

Making shrinky dinks is not just for kids, although they would have fun making them.  This site has a good tutorial, but you can just buy a package (six sheets per package) at your local craft store, instructions included.


These are Downton Abbey characters downloaded and printed on to the special paper (remember to dull down the colors as they become brighter once they are baked).

They are stitch markers used for knitting up this sock which is in progress.  Sock pattern here.

  2. Hi there!
    I bought some sheets of it, and have them tucked away for when I have some time to fiddle with them. I've never tried it before-it looks like you could get really creative with the stuff. Thank you for the link too.

  8. Oh dear, did you get spammed? I turned off my anti-spam thingie on blogger...

    Shrinkie dink stitch markers by themselves would be fabulous, but you had to go the extra mile and make Downton Abbey shrinkies! +100 points!
