Shrinkles!


Ive spent a large portion of this morning playing with Shrinkles. They're probably the most fun thing EVER. There must be some scientific explanation for how they work but the one I prefer to use is "MAGIC". Draw a picture on the flimsy sheet of plastic, colour it in, cut it out, put it in the oven and then BAM. A magic teeny pretty piece of plastic emerges. Apologies for the misuse of capital letters but that's just how excited I get about shrink plastic. I remember being less excited by it as a child. I recall a Beatrix Potter themed set for keyrings and what not. I'd appreciate this much more now than I did as a 7 year old.

      
Here are some pictures I took of my shrinkling adventure.


Teeny!

I also learnt today that "chintz" is so called because people used to think it came from China, but get this, it actually came from India! Silly people.....

So I think you should all go buy some Shrinkles now. Here you go. Thank me later.
