General Class Description

Students design custom keychains using shrink plastic sheets (“Shrink Dinks”). You will draw original artwork, color it, cut it out, then heat it so the plastic shrinks into a thick, durable charm. Once cooled, each piece is turned into a keychain using jump rings and key rings. This is a fast-paced, highly customizable craft that produces professional-looking results.

What Will Students Learn?

How shrink plastic works through heat transformation.
Basic illustration and design scaling (drawing larger before shrinking).
Coloring techniques using markers or colored pencils on plastic.
Safe handling of heat tools (oven or heat gun with supervision).
Jewelry assembly using jump rings and keychains.

What Will Students Leave With?

Students will leave with finished shrink plastic keychains using their own custom designs. They will be wearable or gift-able accessories while leaving with an understanding of how materials change with heat as well as basic jewelry-making skills.
