Shrink Buttons!

Today I had a little fun introducing my son to Shrink Art! I printed out a couple sheets of what I will be using as buttons for Crazy Quilting, cut them out and just said, "Watch!" as I put them in the oven. It took a minute but then I was able to say, "There they go!" After the first batch my son helped me put the holes in the second batch and even wanted to see what would happen to the bit that was bunched out.

I now have 2 dozen buttons in my collection of Shrink Buttons for my Crazy Quilting projects... some of these I have plans for and some will be used for a button swap I'm in. I'll soon be making more!

Here are some pictures of the before and afters of today's fun. :)
