Christmas Ornament Craft for Kids- Use kids' drawings to make ornament keepsakes using shrink film - great homemade gift idea!

 

 

After making these adorable silhouette Christmas ornaments, I gave the extra shrink film from the project to the kids to use.

 

They had such a blast creating their very own ornaments. I loved seeing their excitement as their drawings transformed into tiny, little ornaments to hang on the tree. And I know I’ll cherish these for years- such a cool way to save and display your children’s drawings! This post contains affiliate links.

Materials for Shrink Film Ornaments

  • Shrink Film (We used this shrink film by Grafix. The package contained 6 sheets, and we cut each sheet into fourths.)

  • String or yarn for hanging

Directions for Shrink Film Ornaments

1. Cut your shrink film sheets into fourths.

2. Use Sharpies to draw a picture on your piece of shrink film. They are going to shrink a lot, so be sure to use up most of the space!

3. Punch a hole above the picture your drew.
