Instructions

1.Paint the mobile star or its individual parts with the white acrylic paint. Leave to dry. Then assemble the individual parts and glue them together.
2.Stamp as many feathers as you like onto the roughened side of 1 or 2 pieces of shrink film. Leave to dry.

Note: The colours become more intense and brighter when shrinking.
3.Then punch out circles from the white and stamped foils. Always punch two opposite holes in the circles using a hole punch (largest hole):
4.To shrink, place the motifs one by one on the baking paper with the rough processed side facing upwards and place in an oven heated to ~ 120 °C. The shrinking process takes approx. 2-3 minutes, starting with the bending of the shrink film and ending when it has straightened out again.

Note: The workpiece can still be moulded while hot. For particularly flat parts, press the hot shrink film smooth with light pressure.
5.Attach an approx. 90 cm long piece of cotton cord to the mobile star with a hanging knot. Gradually thread the shrink film motifs onto the cotton cord. Knot the ends and cut off. Thread a cord through the eyelet on the top of the mobile.
