This key-chain valentine seems to defy the laws of physics: as it shrinks, the love just seems to grow.
| Prep Time: About 1 hour | |
| What you need: | |
| Colored pencils
Shrinkable Plastic sheet Hole punch Metal spatula Card stock Key chain Scissors | |
| Seasons: Valentine's day | |
| Materials: card stock, hole punch | |
| Instructions: | |
| 1. | Following the directions on the package, use colored pencils to draw a design on a Shrinkable Plastic sheet ($5 for 10 sheets in craft stores). Cut it out. (Ours was about 3 inches wide before baking.) |
| 2. | Punch a 1/2-inch hole at the top (to do so, we made 4 slightly overlapping holes with a standard-size hole punch), as that will shrink too. |
| 3. | Bake as directed. If the charms curl, flatten them with a metal spatula as soon as you remove them from the oven; if necessary, reheat them briefly and flatten them again. |
| 4. | Write your message on a small piece of card stock, punch a
hole in it, and thread it onto a key chain with your charm. (You
can buy ball chain at hardware stores. Simply cut it into 4-inch
lengths with old scissors and add connectors.)
