Need: paper, shrink film, key chain ring, permanent markers, whole punch, scissors and an oven to bake it in.
1. Trace your kids feet on regular paper first. When you have traced your child's foot onto the paper that when you go ahead and add the text or images that you want so you have everything where you want it. Place the shrink film over your design on paper and trace your design with permanent markers.
2. When your finish tracing your design to the shrink film. Cut it out. Next punch a whole where the your key chain ring will go. Bake according to your shirk film instructions.
I hope you have fun with this one.

too bad that my kids are too big (21, 21 & 18) to do this for their step-dad...
I LOVED this idea and made it with my daycare kids for Father's Day -- but with a little spin

I stamped their feet. They turned out awesome. Thank you so much for the idea!
So how do you keep the shrink film from curling up? I like how the picture shows the key chains as flat. Any tips? Thanks!
