Print out the portion of the pattern you want to turn into a pin on the Shrinky Dink printer paper. Remember that your image will shrink about 70% when deciding on how large you are printing the image.

A toaster oven works best for this. Place your pieces on a rectangle of brown paper in a preheated oven of 275 degrees F. Once your pieces have shrunk and uncurled, let them bake another 30 seconds. This whole process takes about 3 minutes. Be sure to keep an eye on them!

5
Remove from oven. Place another piece of brown paper and a heavy object, like a thick book, on top of them for about 15 seconds.

Once they are cooled, glue pin back onto back of plastic.
