TODAY I’M SHARING HOW I CREATED THESE ADORABLE KEYCHAINS USING A VARIETY OF GRAFIX SHRINK FILM SHEETS. NOT ONLY ARE THEY LOTS OF FUN TO CREATE. THEY ARE ALSO SUPER EASY TO COMPLETE IN A MATTER OF MINUTES.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

GRAFIX SHRINK FILM / KEYCHAIN(S) / PERMANENT (COLOR) MARKERS / HOLE PUNCH/ CRAFT SCISSORS / CUTTING MACHINE (OPTIONAL).

INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1.

TAKE A SHEET OF GRAFIX SHRINK FILM AND FREE-HAND DRAW OR TRACE ANY SHAPE OR DESIGN OF YOUR CHOICE, NEXT, USING YOUR FAVORITE CRAFT SCISSORS, CUT-OUT YOUR SHAPES/DESIGNS, OR YOU MAY RUN A SHEET OF SHRINK FILM THROUGH A CUTTING MACHINE IF PREFERRED (THIS STEP IS OPTIONAL).

STEP 2.

ONCE ALL YOUR PIECES ARE CUT-OUT. FILL-IN WITH USING PERMANENT COLOR MARKERS. SET ASIDE AND LET INK(S) DRY.

STEP 3.

NEXT. HOLE PUNCH YOUR CUT-OUTS PRIOR TO BAKING SHRINK FILM, (I’M GUILTY OF NEARLY MISSING THIS STEP MYSELF). : P

STEP 4.

PREHEAT OVEN AND FOLLOW SHRINK FILM BAKING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BEST RESULTS.

STEP 5.

ONCE SHRINK FILM IS OUT THE OVEN AND SHRINK FILM CUT-OUTS HAVE COOLED. TAKE A KEYCHAIN AND ATTACH YOUR SHRINK FILM CUT-OUTS, AND INCLUDE ANY OTHER EMBELLISHMENTS TO FINISH OFF YOUR KEYCHAIN.

PROJECT TIME: 30 MINUTES
