Scribbling On Regardless/Making a Shrinkie

Make a shrinkie!

Materials you'll need

 * Shrinkie sheet - can be bought from most art shops
 * Pens or pencils
 * Scissors
 * Hole punch (optional)
 * Oven

Instructions
Watch our video for a step-by-step guide
 * 1) Decide what design you want to make.  In our video, we're making a key, but you can make anything you like.  A flower?  A tree?  A character?
 * 2) Using a dark pen, sketch out the design of shrinkie you want to make, and colour it in.  The colour will intensify when you shrink it!
 * 3) If you're making a keyring, or would like to attach your shrinkie on to something, make sure to punch a hole.
 * 4) Now to the oven bit - make sure you have adult supervision for this bit!
 * 5) Preheat the oven to 160 Celsius, and bake your shrinkie on a tray for 1-3 minutes.
 * 6) At first the shrinkie will curl up, but then it will flatten out.
 * 7) Once it flattens back out, bake for 30 seconds more
 * 8) Remember it will be hot when it comes out of the oven - use an oven glove, and don't peel it off straight away, mind your fingers!
 * 9) Once it's cool, you can thread a string or keyring through your shrinkie :)
