    I traced both my children's hands on a shrink form sheet.

    Emma wrote her name right on her hand using a permanent marker. Next, I helped to cut the hands out.

    I used a large hole punch to make a hole for the key ring. If you don't have a large punch just use the standard size several times to make a larger hole.

    Onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet they went and into the oven. I followed my shrink form instructions and placed them in a 300 degree oven for just a minute or so. They curl up and then flatten out and that's how you know they're done.
