Think of us as your favourite, quirky little gift shop; not specialising in one thing, but offering lots of different crafty items up for your delectation and delight. Right now, I'm a bit fox obsessed, so I thought I'd try and alleviate that a bit by making a few foxy brooches using shrink plastic. I can't tell you how much fun it is to put a larger version of your design in the oven and watch it curl and shrink down, down, down! I'm not sure I've succeeded here in keeping my foxy obsession on the down low, though. If anything, it's grown! I might have to keep one or two of these for myself.... This particular brooch measures approximately 59mm x 54mm and is finished with a light coating of varnish, and a 20mm brooch pin (with safety catch) securely glued to the underside. Each brooch comes mounted on a card and in a stripy paper bag, ready for giving, or just for treating yourself. Please note, due to the nature and charm of the plastic used, there may be slight variations in the size and colour of each brooch. Some foxes are more red, some more brown. If you have a particular shade in mind, please do not hesitate to message me and I'll do my best to help. emmamccann Sun, 11 Dec 2011 17:53:06 +0000 http://folksy.com/items/2762894 http://folksy.com/items/2762894 Quick Brown Fox Brooch Right now, I'm a bit fox obsessed, so I thought I'd try and alleviate that a bit by making a few foxy brooches using shrink plastic.
