Start by prepping your shrinky dinks film. If you are using colored pencils you will have to gently sand it down, otherwise if you are using sharpies (which I suggest for more vibrant colors) you are good to go.
Draw your design on the shrinky dinks either by tracing it from an image or free handing it. Color it in with sharpies. Cut out the emoji shape.
Bake in the oven on parchment paper at 325 degrees (or per shrinky dinks instructions) for about 3 minutes. The shrinky dinks will curl up and then lay flat again - once they are flat again they are "done."
Using a hot glue gun, glue on the pin back to the backside of the emoji. Pin it to your jean jacket and wear with pride!
