CRAFT: Super Crafty Kidz
I absolutely was in love with Shrinky Dinks as a kid. I couldn’t get enough of them. But after I spent time tracing, coloring, and baking them, I never really knew what else to do with the finished pieces. With The Shrinky Dinks Book by Sherri Haab & the editors of Klutz your kids will definitely not have this problem! Along with 6 sheets of Shrinky Dink plastic, this spiral-bound book is filled with traceable color templates with directions and inspirational photos on how to create necklaces, charm bracelets, earrings, zipper pulls, pins, frames and more. It’s a versatile book that can be used over and over again with extra shrink plastic or for other craft projects as well.
Book Giveaway Time!
Three lucky CRAFT readers will each receive a copy of The Shrinky Dinks Book along with Shrinky Dinks – Extra Shrinkable Plastic refills! Please make sure you include your email address in the comment form field (won’t be published). All comments will be closed by Noon PST on Friday, November 6th. The lucky winners will be announced later on the site. Good luck!


Here’s some of my favorite pages and projects from the book:
