It's been snowing all day here in Colorado, I thought I would make a craft with the kids. We decided to do Shrinky Dinks. They wanted to make ornaments for their teachers, however it didn't end up that way.
We stamped the images with Studio G $1 clear stamps onto the Shrinky Dink Frosted sheet on the rough side, colored with BIC It Markers on the smooth side, used a medium circle punch and a regular hole punch for the top. I decided to make one just like my 5yr daughter Erin. Once they were baked, they ended up being to big for the hole on the clear ornaments so I decided to make earrings with the matching Christmas trees. I went through the kids jewelry box and found unmatched hooped earrings and re-used the wire.
Kaitlyn who is 6yrs old made some too, however she didn't make any matches. I told her I'd make some earrings for her too.
Items used: Medium circle punch, regular hole punch, Shrinky Dink Frosted sheet, BIC It Markers, Oven, earring wire.
