Homemade Shrinky-Dinks

We love crafting and when I found out that we could recycle some of the plastic food containers to make homemade Shrinky-dinks it was a double win.

When I was younger I remember making Shrinky-dinks. So, it was nostalgic to make them again with my girls. All you need is a few household items to get started and the possibilities are endless.

We made a Shrinky-dink necklace.

Sewing and crocheting are my hobby. I wanted to make her quilt to be a keepsake and something that will be saved and passed on down through the generations. I really love how the quilt turned out.

The process was long. Taking a few hours here and there to finish it. But of course there was no rush, I’m just glad it got done. I store it in her room either displayed on her crib or hanging over the rocking chair.
