Hello everyone! I hope you're having a wonderful December!
Today I'm going to tell you about something called a Shrinky Dink. They're a really fun to do craft and here's how you make them, (;
You must have a special piece of plastic you can get at a Michael's store or amazon.com, some colored pencils, and some scissors.
1. Take the piece of plastic, and draw on the rough side. Don't draw anything too small though.
2. Color in your drawing with colored pencils or crayons, no markers.
3. Plan on what you're going to make (earring? Necklace. Decoration?) and make adjustments ahead of time (hole punch?)
4. Cut out your drawing and try to avoid sharp edges (it will become a weapon.)
5. Place your piece of plastic the oven or microwave, with the drawing facing up, and put oven at 380° F.
6. Stand by and watch your your drawing become smaller, and crumple up, (it is not being ruined) and spread out again. Do not keep in longer than 2 minutes.
7. Drawing will have shrunken about 3 times and got much thicker. It will be pretty hot out of the oven. Place out and let it cool off then create what you've been waiting for.
You can make a necklace, earrings, an ornament, or just a small decoration. These make excellent presents for family or friends and it's just a fun thing to do (;
Hope you enjoyed! Thanks for reading!
