Shrink Your Name Fridge Magnet

Step 1On a sheet of A4 paper or scrap paper, write your name in big letters. Try to use up the whole space. You may need to reduce the height or overlap letters if you have a longer name.
CleverTip: Shrink film has a matte and a gloss side. If you would like your design to be read from the glossy side, you will need to write your name so it is mirrored (each letter is flipped, and your name is written backwards). You may need to practice writing your name this way before you create your design.
Step 2Trace around the letters to make them thick and bold. Draw a border with rounded corners around your name. Fill in the letters with patterns, lines, and shapes.
Step 3Place a sheet of shrink film over your design, with the gloss side facing down. Trace your design onto the shrink film using coloured pencils for best results. Colour in your design using bright colours.
Step 4Cut out the shrink film along the border around your name. Be sure to cut smooth, curved edges. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.
Step 5Follow the instructions provided in your shrink film pack to bake and shrink your design. Allow to cool completely.
Step 6Trace around your shrink film shape onto a sheet of white paper. Cut out the shape and glue to the back of your design. This will create a solid backing to attach your magnets to. Allow to dry.
Step 7Cut two pieces from the self-adhesive magnet strip to fit on the back of your shrink film. Remove the paper backing and attach the magnets to the back of your design.
