12 Shrink Dink Sheets Size A4, Creative Drawing Shrinky Paper Dinks, Novelty DIY Art and Craft Handwork, Christmas Gift Art Toys for Boys and Girls Childrens

My cat keeps losing his collar and tag and while the collars are cheap in bulk, the tags are not. So Pintrest gave me the idea to use shrinky dink and make my own. I have zero experience with this stuff but I gave it a go and with my zero experience, have a handfull of pet tags ready to go! It was so easy and takes no time at all. I followed the directions and it all went exactly as described.The hardest part for me was figuring out how big to make the orginal so it would still be legible once I shrank it. I had more than enough to experiment with and still have most of it left. I mean, now that I have a bucket of personalized cats tags, which only took one page to make, what do I do with the rest?If your not an artisit, you might want the kind you can put in a printer. I cant draw so there was a minute where I wished I had done that. Then I remembered he is a cat and doesnt care so I just made circles with. my contact info. Bonus for Mr. Boo, they are very light weight compared to the metal ones I was buying. Those would clang on his food bowl and the floor where as this doesnt touch a thing or make a sound.

wonderful product easy to use great price for the amount you get.3rd time ordering them. and I ordered 1st time bought 2 2nd time bought 3 3rd time bought 5 packages.

It is exactly what they are! I was able to print out some of my designs and shrink them with a heat gun, and they turned out really well! In order to get them to flatten, I pressed the side of a square bowl/ any flat surface against them, because otherwise, the edges will curl up. Sometimes small warps will show up in the plastic as it shrinks, and I got those mostly out by reheating it and pressing it with a flat surface, which mostly gets warps out.

I bought this for my two boys, age 10 and 5! Bought a pack of permanent markers at Walmart to use with paper. They shrink perfectly! None of the rolling up while shrinking! The mini size drawings come out pretty thick, and great color with sharpies! am going to have to order more for them !

I used colored pencils to doodle some quick pictures of my dogs to use for badge reels. I did have to turn my oven up to 250 to get it to heat up enough because 160 wasn’t doing the job. Worked just like I needed it to :)

I'm having a lot of fun with this shrink plastic.Before I share my experience, let me clarify that the product description about shrinking to 20% of the original size is correct, but can seem confusing. This percentage is based on the area of the item after shrinking compared to the area of the item before shrinking. For example, if you have a 4 inch square (4 inches by 4 inches = 16 square inches) and shrink it, you'll end up with a square a little smaller than 2 by 2 inches square = < 4 square inches).I did a test square and found that it shrinks to about 50% along one axis and to about 45% of the original size along the other. This is pretty standard for shrink plastic, according to what I've read. The variation isn't noticable in most cases, but if you are working with perfect circles or squares, you will notice that it shrinks a bit more one way than another. To keep things simple, just measure the longest length of your design, and assume it will end up about half as long after shrinking.Enough with the math, for goodness sakes, and on with the fun! This stuff is easy to color, even for art challenged people like me. Except the white eyes on the fish, I have only used colored pencils and chalk pastels so far. I colored on the sanded side. The photos show my results before final shaping or sealing.Yes, I have a lot to learn, but the nice thing is that I can continue to heat these figures and continue to shape them until I'm happy with the results. I'm using a heat gun to shrink, rather than a toaster oven, because it's more convenient for me.I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos; They are giving me loads of ideas. People use just about anything to color them, both before and after shrinking. Just be aware that depending on what you use to color them with, you may need to protect them with some sort of sealer at the end to ensure the color doesn't come off. The videos I'm watching use a lot of UV resin to add glitter and shine and sparkle, as well as glue the pieces together and seal everything.If there is any kid left in you, you'll have a blast playing with your shrink plastic.

I ordered these as classroom crafts for my students. Each student created a design, and then I attempted to print the outline for them so they could color. These shrinkies did not work with my printer. With that being said, students were able to lay the shrinky dinks over the designs they created and trace. For the price and included amount of shrinky dink papers, this is a great deal!

Item reviewed: 12 Shrink Dink Sheets, Creative Drawing Shrinky Paper DinksDate reviewed: May 2, 2023A little pricey at $1/sheet, but they were fun to play around with. I actually "shrink" mine with a heat gun and not an oven. Just easier that way.I used several things to color/draw on these: paint pens, colored pencils, alcohol markers. Keep in mind, everything becomes darker when you shrink it down. So, plan accordingly.
