Fathers Day Key Ring

Fathers Day Key Ring

I didn't what to do on Fathers day. But when I was looking for ink-jet printer iron on papers in High Street, I found ink-jet shrink plastics. They reminded me that I bought normal one before, so I asked Little Miss Chatty to draw something for her Daddy.

As this was the first time to use shrink plastic myself, I couldn't imagine how it's going to look like. It seems that coloured pencils for kids' drawing are not suitable, and LMC said that the colour didn't come out very well. So we used artistic coloured pencils. Baked on 175ºC oven(Gas mark 3). Wait until it became flat, take it out and hold it flat with something. I used the flat bottom of baking mould.

It became a bit wonky but her drawings turned out to be bright deep colours.

Do I need varnish to keep the colour? Anyway it's going to be this year's Fathers day present.
