Chip Bag Shrinkie Dinkies
You Need:
- Empty bag of chips (plastic outside, aluminium inside)
- Baking tray x 2 (or oven proof plates)
- Sheets of baking paper x 2 (bigger than the chip bag)
- Towel
- Oven mitts
- Oven
What to do:
- Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
- Wash your empty chip bag gently with water and dry with a towel. Crumbs make bumps in the shrinkie, so you really want to start with a clean bag.
- On a baking tray, lay your chip bag flat between two sheets of baking paper. To get a long, flat shrinkie place an oven proof plate or tray on top. If you are after a more scrunched look, do not place the plate/tray weight on top.
- Place the baking trays in the oven for about 10 minutes. Have an adult check it every 2 minutes.
- Have an adult take the tray out of the oven and let it cool. Slowly peel the baking paper apart to reveal your new chip bag shrinkie. via
Girl Scout Vest Swaps
These were made from craft foam. Buy a pack of assorted colors – or use those scraps you’ve been saving. Provide some small patterns and a hole punch for those round badges. Use a small piece of felt and drops of glitter glue for the ‘tab’. Dress up with gel pens, markers, and glue together. Great busy project with a neat outcome. Don’t forget to have small safety pins on hand to pin them on their swap hat/vest/bag-strap/etc. via pinterest
