The stocking is an essential part of Christmas. Children all over the U.S. hang up their store bought or homemade stockings up in hopes that Santa will come and fill them with surprises. Children can also make their own Shrinky Dink stockings.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Shrinky Dink sheets
  • Pencil crayons
  • Scissors
  • Oven
  • Cookie sheet
  1. Step 1

    Go to a your local craft store to get Shrinky Dink sheets. You can also get them online from the original maker of Shrinky Dink.

  2. Step 2

    Take a Shrink Dink sheet out of the package, with the rough side of the sheet facing up.

  3. Step 3

    Use a red pencil crayon to draw an outline of a Christmas stocking. The drawing should be much larger than you actually want it because it is going to shrink when you put it in the oven.

  4. Step 4

    Color the Christmas stocking with the pencil crayons. You can draw a holly leaf on the front or write your name across the top.

  5. Step 5

    Cut out the Christmas stocking. You will need to leave a clear edge around the stocking so cut about ½ inch around the stocking.

  6. Step 6

    Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F.

  7. Step 7

    Place the Shrinky Dink stocking, rough side up, on the cookie sheet.

  8. Step 8

    Place the cookie sheet in the oven for 60 seconds.

  9. Step 9

    Allow the stocking to cool on the cookie sheet. Use a hole puncher to punch a hole in the stocking. Slide a string through the hole and hang it as an ornament from the Christmas tree.

Tips & Warnings
  • Ensure that the Shrinky Dink Christmas stocking doesn't burn in the oven.
