Join PTLL Volunteer member Trisha in making shrink plastic crafts: Make a necklace, fridge magnet, keychain, or make all three! Draw from your imagination or trace from a variety of images, and color them in. Then, watch the shrink magic happen as your art shrinks down and thickens up in the toaster oven!
Activity time: anywhere from 10 min to an hour depending on how much you want to make!
Trisha has been coming to PTLL with her two year-old, Ben, for about 1.5 years. Trisha used to have a side gig making and selling jewelry (made of shrink plastic, wood, and polymer clay) at local markets and online.
