Bra Strap Hider

You Will Need

- Shrink Plastic
- Scissors
- PROJECT BUDGET
- Almost Nothing

It's a "no-show" !

Have you noticed the commercial for a small device that will keep your bra straps out of sight, no matter what style of top you are wearing? Have you seen what they are charging for it? $14.99 for a set of 3.

Well, I have come up with an alternative that winds up costing about $1.00 each.

I made this with the "bright white" version of Shrinky Dink plastic. This plastic is mildly flexible, unlike the "frosted" version, which is very rigid. It's just flexible enough to allow easy manipulation in looping your bra straps around it, and with more than enough strength to hold them solidly.
You can see from the pic, the shape you need to cut from the shrink plastic. I made my circle approximately 5-1/2", which shrank down to about 2". It works great! Plus, with shrink plastic, you can use markers, pens, even paint to decorate and colorize your creation. Plus, Shrinky Dinks plastic is also sold in black.

That's the greatest thing I've seen in a long time! My only problem is that I can't find any shrink plastic or shrinky dinks any where! Do you know where I could get some?

oh i saw this on craftster too,
and i read that this thingies are "supossed" to make a push up effect, but i don't think so (at least not a significative push up effect)

Shrinky dinks can be ordered online, or can be found at Michael's Craft Stores if you live near one.

The push-up effect is obtained by the holder drawing your bra straps together which pulls them up in front. It does, in effect, give you a little extra lift.

I love that commercial!
If the "lift" is really as significant as they make it seem the plastic surgeons of the world may be in trouble.

I used the "frosted" shrinky plastic because I've had it sitting around here for years....however, mine curled up really bad and there was nothing I could do to save it. I will try another one. Awesome project!!

You can stop the plastic from sticking by sprinkling with talc powder before baking.

Oh my god amazing, thank you so much. I was thinking that's a handy little device but there's no way I'm paying $20+ for some little piece of plastic that costs 50 cents for them to make. I'd been thinking hmm what could I make one of those out of, thank you so much for this idea!
