Private: Kid’s Craft Camp

One of my favorite craft memories from childhood is making what we then called shrinkies. Introduced in 1973, Shrinky Dinks had kids (and crafty adults) creating artwork on flexible sheets of plastic that, when popped in the oven, would magically shrink down to approximately 1/3 their original size.

In this video, we show you how to make your own shrink film monograms to use for a keychain or magnet. These little cuties also make great last-minute gifts or even gift toppers.
