Jinkies! This is no trap (sorry, Fred!) This is a super easy Scooby Doo themed craft, perfect for Scooby Doo marathon or birthday party!
Each of my children have gone through Scooby Doo phases, which delights my husband to no end. My eldest loved Scooby so much that we threw her a themed party, complete with a caper for all the meddling kids to solve.
Georgia’s Scooby Doo party remains one of my favorite parties we’ve thrown. The snacks and decor came together effortlessly. The “mystery” was engaging for the party guests. The crafts were super fun.
Want to make your own Scooby Doo themed craft? Try these Shrinky Dink Scooby Doo Collars!
Easy Scooby Doo Dog Collar Craft
Supplies Needed:
- Ribbon (5/8 inch blue ribbon, cut into 13 inches)
- Velcro (similar on Amazon)
- Metal Rings (found in the jewelry section of a craft store)
- Shrinky Dink Paper (similar on Amazon)
- Hole Punch
- Colored Pencils
How to Make Scooby Doo Dog Collars:
Shrinky Dinks are thin plastic sheets that magically transform by shrinking and hardening in the oven. They typically shrink 33-45% in size from their original drawing. Each brand is different, so I would test your brand in advance to make sure the desired size is reached.
Before the celebration, I pre-made some diamonds with SD written in the center so guests could color their own Scooby Doo dog collar tags. Colored pencils can be used on the rough side of the Shrinky Dink paper.
Notes:
- Make sure to round the edges of the diamond so the design isn’t sharp.
- Punch a hole in your dog tag before shrinking. They harden & you will not be able to punch afterwards.
I also let some dog tags blank so party guests could incorporate their own creativity.
Shrinky Dink Scooby Doo dog tags were then baked in the oven according to package directions by a responsible adult. Once cooled, we were able to attach the dog tags to a ring, found in the jewelry section of my craft store.
Once the dog tags were ready, we strung them on blue ribbon. At each end of the blue ribbon, Velcro circles were attached so Scooby Doo dog collar necklaces could be easily worn and taken off.
I love adding a craft or two to my children’s parties for an easy way to entertain guests (and adults, too!). Plus, it makes for a fun keepsake from the celebration.
Do you love Scooby Doo as much as my family? If so, these Scooby Doo Dog Collars are for you!
