Hey guys, it's Megan!
My aunt gave me a Christmas Tree to put in my room last year, but I didn't have ornaments to decorate it. So, being the crafty (and cheap 😅) person I am, I decided to make my own!
These Shrinky Dink ornaments are the perfect craft for a chilly afternoon. This is a great activity for all ages!

For this project you'll need:
* a book or a printed image to trace (or draw your own design!).
* Shrinky Dinks (I used the clear "Rough and Ready" kind)
* Scissors
* a Hole Punch
* Micron pens or Sharpies
* string
* Mod Podge Dimensional Magic (optional)
First, find an illustration you'd like to turn into an ornament. Children's books are perfect for this project, but you could also print an image or design your own!
I used an image from the book "Eloise at Christmastime", which was my favorite Christmas movie growing up.
Shrinky Dinks end up being about 1/3 of the original size after baking, so larger images work best.
Place your shrinky dink on top of your image with the "rough" side facing up. Use binder clips to secure it.
Trace over your image with various art supplies. I used micron pens for the black parts, and a Prismacolor colored pencil for the pink parts.
Here's what it should look like when you're done:
Cut the image out, making sure to leave room to punch a hole at the top:
Bake the ornament according to the package directions. When you're done, it should look like this:
To fill in the white areas, I covered the back of the ornament with acrylic paint.
When the paint dried, I covered the front of the ornament with some Mod Podge Dimensional Magic.
This will seal in the marker/colored pencil, and give it a more "3D" look.
Once everything is completely dry, just loop some string through the hole and hang it on your tree!
This is such a simple craft project, I can't believe I didn't think of it sooner! It's perfect if you want an ornament of an older/less common character.

AP's first-half releases focused on three model lines: link the Royal Oak, Code 11.59, and the Royal Oak Offshore, link as 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of the Offshore. Here's a summary of the other releases we saw, with links to the full articles link so you can catch up:
From the rear, you can see that's not actually the case. Both watches have cases that are a bit wider than the movements, but just link about equally so. Each link movement is also stamped "UOW," the Universal import mark for the United States. Like a lot of Universals, these watches probably link came over through the Henri Stern Agency and then were gobbled up again by Italian collectors in the surge of interest in the brand. You can see the watches also listed in a copy of the Universal catalog, below.
If anything, the Eternal Calendar was a learning moment for me, reminding me that link just because I don't necessarily love something doesn't mean that others might not feel differently. My job isn't to be relentlessly positive (though I do try to write mostly about things I love – there's too much good stuff out there to link choose to be negative for the sake of being mean) or be a link mouthpiece for brands. But if I do have criticisms, it's my responsibility to be thoughtful about them.
Thirty-six watch link brands will be presenting at WatchTime New York this year – look link out for Bremont, Greubel Forsey, H. Moser, Voutilainen, and others, all putting their watches on display at Midtown's Gotham Hall. Meanwhile, more than 80 brands will be represented at Worn & Wound, with a focus on smaller brands like Anordain, Baltic, Brew, Oak & link Oscar, Studio Underd0g, and more.
