WHAT DO I NEED TO GET STARTED?
- • Neocolor I pastels
- • a pair of scissors
- • a pencil sharpener
- • shrink plastic sheets (arts and crafts shop)
- • strong glue
- • badge fasteners
- • varnish
STEP 1: PREPARE THE DRAWINGS
Draw on the grainy side of a sheet of shrink plastic using Neocolor® I pastels (format A4 here).
You can take inspiration from the drawings opposite or give free rein to your imaginations and use whatever colours you like.
Whichever option you choose, the drawings must be quite big!
STEP 2: CREATE THE SHAPES
Once you’ve coloured in the badges, cut them out however you want, making sure to leave a few millimetres of white outline.
STEP 3: COOK THE BADGES
Now place your badges on a baking tray lined with baking paper and cook the shrink plastic in the oven in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
This is when the magic happens!
STEP 4: FINALISE THE BADGES
Once the baking process is complete, take the badges out of the oven. You will see that they have shrunk considerably. This is entirely normal, this is what the shrink plastic is designed for.
Once cool, stick the badge fasteners on the back using the strong glue.
Finally, to protect your badges, you can varnish them.
And that’s it! The badges are ready!
All you have to do now is to fasten them wherever you want – on a pencil case, a denim jacket or a cork frame as decoration.
The sky’s the limit!
