Shrinky Dink Earrings

"It's the little details that are vital.  Little things make big things happen." -John Wooden



Looking for a fun project for the whole family?  Let me suggest shrinky dinks!  Whether you turn them into magnets, key chains, or these adorable earrings, they are fun to make and entertaining for all ages.

Materials:

  • Shinky Dink Plastic
  • Earrings
  • String
  • Sand Paper
  • Pencil
  • Colored Pencils or Sharpies
  • Hole punch
Directions:
  1. Sand one side of the Shrinky Dink plastic until it is evenly rough.
  2. Draw or trace an image onto the rough side of the plastic.
  3. Color in the image.
  4. Using the hole punch, punch a hole in the top of the designs.
  5. Shrink according to Shrinky Dink instructions. Let cool.
  6. Using string (or clear fishing line would work best) attach the plastic to the earring.
Make ones to show off your team pride, for the next big movie opening, or to express yourself!
