I just couldn't resist these little resin swimmers from Temu (£1.68 for a pack of 12 - but prices can vary on Temu from day to day).
But what to do with them? Well, the children's school has had a temporary swimming pool installed on site, as it worked out cheaper than busing everyone up to the leisure centre and back, however, it's been a bit of a military operation for the staff, so I thought it might be a cute idea, as a memory, to turn the figures into pin badges for their lanyards.
No great shakes for this idea then ........
......... I simply stuck a tiny 1.5cm brooch fastening onto the back of each swimmer using B-7000 glue.
I would have perhaps preferred to use butterfly clutch fastenings, but they were just a little too big.
When the glue was set I pinned the swimmers onto a scrap of blue card to complete the "look"! Perhaps if I'd given myself more time, I could have edged the cards with white, wavy lines?
I love the figures so much I've ordered another set as I thought I could make a couple of small canvases that look like swimmers doing lengths in a swimming pool? We shall see ..........
