Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Cut a 4" x 6" rectangle out of your shrink film.
  • Draw your notebook paper design with colored pencils and a ruler on the rough side of the frosted shrink film.
  • Use a marker to write your message or draw an image.
  • Use a hole puncher to add a hole or holes on the side.
  • Lay your shrink plastic flat on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 to 3 minutes.
  • You will see the plastic curl and twist as it heats up.
  • Wait 30 seconds after the last shrink plastic is lying flat.
  • Remove the cookie sheet from the oven.
  • Let the plastic fully cool.
  • Once plastic is cool, you can add a protective clear coat.
  • Let dry.
  • Add jump rings, keychains or tassles to your DIY keychain.

Notes

  • If your shrink plastic curls and gets stuck, carefully use tweezers to pull it apart. You need to do this while the plastic is hot.
  • Baking time may vary. Pull your keepsake design out of the oven 30 seconds after it lays flat.
