What You Need

What you need is:

Brown paper bag

Oven mitt (or pot holder)

Sheet of shrinky dinks

Markers (whatever colors you want)

You can also use rubber stamps & ink.

Mark It

First grab your sheet of shrinky dinks and mark 6 inches long and 1 wide (depending on your finger size this size fits most but you can change the length or width depending on how big or wide you want it)

Preheat Oven

At this point preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cut and Color

Now cut out your shrinky dink strips and round off the ends as it will get sharp when it shrinks. Now grab your markers and draw (or stamp) your design on the rough side ( remember if you are drawing words like L-O-V-E you need to write them backwards)

Lay It Out

Now grab your brown paper bag and put it on your baking sheet. Put your Shrinky Dinks on it rough side down.

Time to Bake

Put the baking sheet in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes. After 2 minutes use your oven mitt (or pot holder) to take them out.
