Original Shrinkles, Shrink Art Sheets Black Classroom Pack for 5 years to 99 years (50 Sheets)

Product Information

Featuring multiple colour shrinkies, 3 necklace chains, keyrings, and more, there’s combinations galore to choose from! Avoid shrinking particularly large shrinky dinks s as they may fold in on themselves too much during heating and get stuck together! I want to do this with my pre-schoolers for Father’s Day/Special Person and be sustainable by reusing plastic packaging.

This brilliant shrink plastic charm bracelet is created by tracing over clip art with a sharpie and colouring with posca paint pens. I remember my grandmother melting white Styrofoam cups in the oven enough to make them look like hats. If you are shrinking to make jewellery or keyring, now is the time to make any holes you need, as this will be much harder to do one the shrink plastic sheet has shrunk.For businesses such as resorts, holiday parks and fetes – how about creating a traceable image of your mascot? Shrinky Dinks were invented in 1973 by Betty Morris and Kate Bloomberg, two housewives in Brookfield, Wisconsin, as a Cub Scout project with their sons.

But beyond this, smaller designs tends to work better as they maximise the cute factor and are the easiest to keep flat.However, all you need is a little grade 0 glass paper or fine sandpaper which lets you gently roughen the surface of the shrink plastic sheet. You can print on crystal clear shrink plastic sheets, as long as your printer is an ink jet printer. If that didn’t work you might try a slightly lower temperature to give it more time to flatten out or for you to poke it down (a bamboo skewer works great). If your design does not entirely flatten, make sure it is is good and hot, and then place an acrylic block or another ceramic tile on top of it, to flatten it while it cools.
