The Creatistics Shrink Film Charms – Pack of 12 is a creative and interactive craft activity that allows children to make their own personalised charm decorations. Each A4 sheet includes pre-printed charm designs on a sanded/matt surface, ready for colouring with coloured pencils or permanent markers. Once coloured, the sheets are cut and baked in a pre-heated oven, shrinking the designs to approximately 60% of their original size to form firm, miniature charms ideal for keyrings, bag tags, jewellery, zipper pulls, and more. This engaging craft is perfect for both classroom and at-home projects, helping children explore transformation through heat while developing their fine motor and artistic skills.
The process of colouring, cutting, baking and watching the design shrink provides a fun and fascinating hands-on experience. With 60 charms included in total, this set provides enough materials for group crafting sessions, making it great for classroom activities, parties, or collaborative gift-making. The high-quality shrink film ensures crisp, bright results and durability once baked, giving students a tangible, lasting product they can take pride in.
