Shrinky Dinks are fun to turn into almost anything, but when a friend of my mothers decided to throw a Disney themed bridal shower, the princesses were ready to make an appearance. By making them into wine charms everyone was able to harness their inner princess while never losing their glass. (Plus, it's a great take home trinket as well). However, be careful who you have help color in the images. Some people think Rapunzel and Ariel are the same person. (FYI: They are not).
Materials:
- Shrinky Dink Paper
- Black Permanent Marker
- Colored Pencils
- Images to turn into the Charms
- Scissors
- Hole punch
- Jump rings
- Wire
- Beads
Directions:
- Start by tracing the images (from the internet) on the paper with a permanent marker.
- Color in the images.
- Cut out the images.
- Punch a hole into the top of the images.
- Bake in the oven according to packaging.
- Let cool. Thread a jump ring through each punched hole.
- Thread a piece of wire through each jump ring. Add beads and form ends of wire into loops.
- Bend the wire so that the loops can interconnect as needed to fit around a wine glass.
For everyday use, I made myself a set of DC superhero themed charms. I am feeling the Wonder Woman tonight!
