Plastic van play using a plastic plate that shrinks when heated. I think there are many people who played with their favorite pictures and characters when they were children. I enjoyed shopping by making a lot of fictitious currencies.

I thought that I could only use oil-based markers for that plastic van, but I caught the information that I could make it with the water-based felt-tip pen "POSCA". The official website of POSCA introduced how to make it, so I decided to try it for the first time in a while.

Natural color is recommended

Items to prepare are plastic vans, POSCA, scissors, accessory metal fittings, etc. By the way, POSCA has just released a pale "natural color" this year. You can use this to make accessories with a soft and gentle atmosphere.


The site contains designs such as sweets and animals that are easy for beginners to draw, so print them out if necessary.

The point is to use both sides properly

Fix the plastic van on the design, paint it with your favorite color and let it dry. Even if it sticks out, it can be wiped off with a damp tissue before it dries. Also, since it shrinks at the end, it is okay if there is some uneven coating.



When it is completely dry, turn it over and draw fine patterns such as toppings and face on the other side. By properly using the front and back, you can get a three-dimensional finish like resin.

Heat one by one as much as possible

All you have to do is cut it out and heat it as described in Puraban. I miss the feeling of curling up with all my might, like "I'm gone !?"


Don't be greedy for large designs or complicated shapes, but do it one by one. I couldn't spread it out after doing several sheets at once, and I failed ...

Arrange freely such as brooches!

When it cools and hardens, attach metal fittings and hairpins as you like to complete. In addition, you can enjoy various arrangements such as making it a magnet or making a hole first to make it a charm.


It's been a while since I've done it, so it took me some time to get the hang of it, but even if it's a little distorted, it's something I'm attached to. Pastel-colored accessories are great for adults to wear, so please try it with your parents!
