Shrinky Dink Sculpture for Halloween

For a fun twist on Shrinky Dinks, my class made a Halloween sculpture!

 Each perspective has a different view.

Supplies you will need for this project:

• Ruff n' Ready pre-sanded Shrinky Dink Plastic. Click Here.
• Fine and Medium tip black Sharpie marker.
• Colored pencils. Any brand.
• Glue gun.
• Oven.
• Halloween images. Click Here for a free download.

Directions:
1) Cut a large sheet of Shrinky plastic into 1/4 pieces. With the rough side up, place 1/4 sheet of plastic over your image.

 2) Outline with a fine tip Sharpie, and color with colored pencils.

 3) "Blob Cut" the image - don't cutexactly on the outline. Leave a little extra around the edges.

 4) For the base, I like to grab 3 colored pencils in fall colors and randomly scribble over 1/4 sheet of plastic.

 5) Trim off the sharp corners and a little off the edges in a random wavy shape.

6) Once all images have been colored and blob-cut, place them on a cookie sheet.
7) Pre-heat your oven to 325 degrees. Bake for a couple minutes, or until the images have curled and COMPLETELY flattened themselves back out again.

 8) Put a bead of hot glue on the bottom edges of the images and adhere them to the base.

This project is appropriate for ages 5 and older and takes about one hour to complete.
