I was so very, very excited to try shrink art with the kids today for our weekly craft. The kids were very excited too!
we picked out our designs and they all couldn't wait to watch their art shrink before their eyes.
Oh, it shrunk alright. Despite covering our little pieces with parchment paper and also trying without and trying a lower setting on the oven and a higher setting....our art didn't really shrink the way it was suppose to. These below were our best pieces.
and these were some of our worst :-(
not to be discouraged we spent the remainder of our craft time stringing animal shaped beads onto plastic string to make bracelets and necklaces. Perhaps I should have called on some professionals in trying the shrink art. LOL

i found that if they curled i baked them a little longer and then flattened them out with a spatula! doesn't work so well if they curl up and stick though!
