Description
In this engaging activity, you will design and create personalized charms using shrinky dink paper, allowing you to explore your creativity and express your individuality. You’ll start by sketching unique designs inspired by your interests, then transfer your artwork onto shrinky dink paper with colored pencils or permanent markers. After carefully cutting out your charms and punching holes for keychains or jewelry, you will witness the exciting transformation as your creations shrink and intensify in color during the baking process. Once cooled, you’ll add finishing touches and assemble your charms into wearable art. You will be given the oppotunity to proudly showcase your one-of-a-kind pieces. If the group would like to participate, we might also do a create and swap activity!
My student, Geny Peralta Gallardo, and myself will be walking students through this process together!
