DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Christmas Shrinky Dinks
Most of the time, the crafts on the site don't require much in the
way of store bought materials. But Lisa Ann asked whether I knew
where she might find printable Shrinky Dink patterns. I couldn't
find anything on the internet so decided to put some together for her.
If you ever want to make your own, five or six images per page works out to be about
the right size for necklaces or keychains. The images shrink to 1/3 of
their original size.
To make Shrinky Dink Christmas ornaments, I've found that a full sized image
(from a coloring book or the like) works very well. I've included a few
easy-to-make suggestions of images in the templates list. You can
sometimes squeeze an image or two that are 'keychain size' onto the same shrinky
dink page with an ornament size image (I try to squeeze the images over as much
as possible and keep the 'scraps' for future projects)
