Use a punch or scissors to cut shapes from shrink plastic. A shape of around 1" in diameter will shrink to about one third of the size, which will be perfect for a pin head. Use rubber stamps to stamp the image onto the shrink plastic and add color as required.

Tip - remember that colors on an image appear darker when they have shrunk.
