Helpful Links

Even though I am just a fifteen minute drive away from two different craft stores and a fabric store, I still like to order online for a lot of my projects. So here are some helpful links!

Eyes:
I used to use shank buttons as eyes (mostly for my plushie tempura), but now that I've discovered safety eyes, there is no turning back. Ever.

Shrinkable Plastic and the Like:

http://www.consumercrafts.com/store/details/catalog/kids-craft-basics/3-2000d : cheaper than above
http://www.planetjune.com/blog/shrink-plastic-ring-tutorial/ : how to make rings with this stuff. Awesome.
http://www.skiptomylou.org/2009/01/07/how-to-make-shrinky-dinks-with-recycled-6-plastic/ : okay, so this is really cool. I didn't know you could color and bake salad containers like you can with shrinkydinks.
