*oh,....me either. wink, wink.
But seriously, Jordyn has recently become OBSESSED with this game and i've got to admit, it is super fun! It seems like we go out almost every night to walk around the park and catch Pokemon. It really is amazing to see how many people are actually out, walking around, and spending time in public.
Since Jordyn is on a mission to become a Pokemon master, we decided to create a little bit of Pokemon flair for her to wear. These are so cute and so easy to make!
SUPPLIES;
Black permanent marker
markers or crayons
scissors
Hot glue gun.
Pin backs
Printed Pokemon stencils
STEP 1.
Start by preheating your oven to 325 degrees then doing a google image search for your favorite Pokemon and save them to your computer. You'll want to resize your Pokemon images to about 3x3. Print them off in black and white....to save ink, duh. Place your shrink plastic ( rough side up) over the images and trace with your permanent marker.
STEP 2:
Color in your images. Jordyn and I used markers but you could also use acrylic paints, colored pencils, or crayons.
STEP 3: Cut out your images. Cut along the black line, there doesnt need to be any white space around the outside.
STEP 4: SHRINK! Jordyn thought this part was so cool. Place your images on a baking sheet lined with either foil or parchment paper then place in the oven. Turn on your oven light to watch your images shrink, it'll take 1-3 minutes. Jordyns mind was blown, she couldn't stop talking about it. It really is fun to see how these big images get so tiny. ( They shrink to about 1/3 of the original size and become 9 times thicker) And don't worry, the shrink plastic will start to curl up while its shrinking but will flatten out once its done.
STEP 5: Once your Pokemon are cool, use your hot glue gun to add the pin clips to the back ( rough side)
STEP 6: Pin to your outfit and go catch 'em all...with flair!
