What is a good craft I can make with a friend in a low budget?
I don’t have a lot more then around $20, but I just have no idea what to make. I want to make a pretty Christmas craft, and not just making a foam or painted ornament. Please tell me some ideas, for I need a good idea by Saturday. Thanks! A: You can purchase a package of shrink plastic (aka Shrinky Dinks) at the craft store for about $5.00. Draw or trace simple pictures on the plastic and color in with colored pencils then punch a hole at the top. Now the fun part….bake in the oven ( the instructions are on the package ) and your design will shrink to about half the size. When done, color the edges ( which are thick now) with a gold or silver paint pen. You can string one onto a ribbon or cord for a necklace or if you make a bunch of small ones, you can make a charm bracelet. They can be attached to a split ring and used as a key ring or lots of small ones can be knotted onto thin,sheer ribbon and used as a unique garland for the tree. They can also be used as gift tags, luggage tags
