Shrink Plastic Charms or Earrings

You can make the coolest customized charms or earrings with our Shrink Plastic. Stamp, draw or even print (on the printable shrink plastic version) your designs, then heat them up and watch the magic happen. Our Design Team Members have had so much fun playing with this. Monica made fall charms, and Kate made shaker bits for a shaker card and Tarot inspired earrings.

DIY Christmas Gift Idea For Significant Other

Why I Love You Mini Album 

This is such a special gift that will be treasured for years to come. We have this tagged as a gift for a spouse or partner, but really, this is a gift that would be cherished by anyone. Make heart shaped pages, include a photo and write a short message on each page. This is a fun album to make for grandma or grandpa as well and each child can write a message.

DIY Christmas Gift for Teacher

Personalized Shaker Desk Magnet

We love this idea for a teacher appreciation gift any time of year, but it's also a great Christmas gift for a teacher or co-worker. Create a personalized shaker magnet that sticks to the teacher's desk. Make a generic one for all year round, or dress it up with a holiday themed tag.
