  • Markers (different colors)
  • Hole puncher
  • Scissors, tape

First, you have to print the images you want for your keychains. Then, tape the shrink transparency on the printable paper. Get your marker and start to trace the image. So basically, you are transferring the image to the shrink dinks.

Step 3: Punch a hole at one corner of the image.

Next, we will shrink the images using the oven. It would be better to read the instructions first on the package regarding the temperature and time for it to shrink perfectly. Once finished, use tongs to get it from the oven because it will be hot. If it does not lie entirely flat, you can put it back into the oven for a few minutes and place a book on it.
