I made this bracelet a while back when I was making the personalized name tag key chain for Avery's lunch box. Shrink plastic is my new favorite craft supply. It's so easy to work with and hardens into a relatively durable plastic, that the creative possibilities are endless. To make this bracelet I punched two holes on each end of the shrink plastic (before shrinking) and then threaded through a leather bracelet. Check out the tutorial on how to make personalized name tag key chain to see exact details on making the shrink plastic name.
This is the shrink plastic after shrunk. You want to read the instructions on your shrink plastic to see how much it will shrink. You could also do a test strip to test also. |
Use a needle and nylon thread to sew the name tag onto the leather. |
Shrink plastic can be purchased at ConsumerCrafts.com, Amazon.com or at a local crafts store like Michaels.
