Looking for a fun craft theme to compliment your Tsum Tsum themed party? Have you tried shrink art. I was recently introduced to this activity by my niece and her class; though, it did reach its height of popularity in the 1980's under the name Shrinky Dinks. Remember them?
So how do you create Shrink Art? Just purchase some plastic shink art plastic (affiliate link) and let your crafters place it over a design and trace in out with a sharpie. You can color the design in with markers or pencil crayons. We used pencil crayons.
When done with the design just cut it out and place in on a baking pan for 3 minutes at about 325 degrees. It will shrink 5 times smaller so keep that in mind. Leave for ten minutes and it's ready.
You can make pendants out of the designs. Just remember to poke a hole in the design before you bake your creations.
As for the Tsum Tsum design - we just printed out a various pictures of our favorite characters. Often times I had to shrink down the picture before hand to make it work as a template, but you can do that at print set up:)
