Step 1
Purchase a package of Shrinky Dink sheets. They cost $3 and $5 per package. Your local craft store should have these, but if not you can buy them from the original makers of Shrinky Dink. The website is listed in Resources below.
-
Step 2
Remove a Shrinky Dink sheet from the package and place it rough side up. Lay the smooth side against your work area.
-
Step 3
Use a black pencil crayon to draw an outline of a gingerbread man. This is not hard, and you can do it by looking at the picture above.
-
Step 4
Color the gingerbread man in with your pencil crayons. Make the gingerbread man brown, but give him an outfit, some hair, a funny face or laced up shoes. There is no limit to what you can do if you want to be creative and original.
-
Step 5
Cut out the gingerbread man with your scissors. Make sure you leave a clear space all the way around. This will compensate for the shrinking that is going to occur.
-
Step 6
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
-
Step 7
Place the Shrinky Dink rough side up, which is the side that has color on it, on the cookie sheet.
-
Step 8
Place the Shrinky Dink gingerbread man in the oven for 60 seconds and remove.

Step 9
Allow to cool and then use.
