The 80’s had amazing TV perfect for families and I miss it. I really miss being able to watch TV as a family because most TV is not appropriate. Well, Netflix makes it easy to enjoy TV as a family along with a very fun craft. Some of my favorite TV shows, like Jem, the Babysitters Club and Family Ties are now available on Netflix. In honor of these classics on Netflix, Netflix has shared how to make your own Shrinky Dinks with us!
HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN SHRINKY DINKS
Materials needed:
Shrinky Dink paper (available at Michaels or on Amazon.com) – I chose the frosted kind for some old school fun.
Colored pencils
Oven
Scissors
Hole puncher
Brown paper bag
Old chain necklace or cord
Glass pan or cookie sheet
Step 1.
Use the colored pencils to draw or trace designs. Cut out your designs and use the hole puncher to create a hole on the top of each design.
Step 2.
Cut a brown paper bag to the size of your glass pan or cookie sheet. Place it inside the glass pan or cookie sheet. Place your designs on the brown paper.
Step 3.
Place Shrinky Dinks in a preheated 325° oven. Turn on the oven light and watch as they shrink. Bake for 1-3 minutes. Note: The designs will curl and move, but don’t worry, they will fall back to their original shape. Remove from oven and let cool.
Step 4.
Thread your charms onto a chain necklace or cord.
