The cute buttons made of shrink foil do not look great only , but are also simply made.

Great buttons succeed so easily!
First choose a desired motif or download our free motif templates.

Tip
: The motif should be large enough, as the shrink film will shrink up to 50% later.

The shrink film has a smooth and a rough side. Place the film in front of you so that the rough side is on top, because this is the side that will be painted. Start by tracing the lines of the template with a pencil. When this is done, you can paint the motif as you like.

Before the painted shrink film is put in the oven, the motif is cut out.

Preheat your oven to 120 °C (top/bottom heat). The cut-out motif is placed on a baking tray covered with baking paper with the painted side facing upwards. Don't worry, it is normal for the film to partially curve during the shrinking process. When it is lying flat on the tray again, you can take the film out of the oven.

Tip
: It is possible that the film has small waves after shrinking. However, you can easily smooth them out again with an iron

After the foil has shrunk, the last step comes. Now only is still attached to the back of brooch pins with a little double-sided Adhesive tape .
