FAQ: Q: can you use a microwave to shrink the plastic? A: I never tried it and probably never will but I’m going to assume no. Since microwave has hot spots and doesn’t heat evenly. But let me know if it does or not! Q: Can I use nail top coat to seal it? A: You can but remember some colorants will smudge or bleed when nail polish is applied. For example sharpie marker will dissolve with nail top coat.

Just when I think I know a craft, you make a video tutorial and all of a sudden, I feel like a newbie all over again. Even though I've made quite a few shrinky dinks with my little one, I still learned quite a few things from your video. Thank you so much for the high quality video content. I'm always striving to improve on my crafting skills. I love that you're thorough, well spoken, and so awesomely talented with every craft you touch.

I can't get over how incredibly knowledgeable you are Amy! Also one of the BEST tutorials I've ever watched, on ANY subject. Lovely voice, direct and to the point, TONS of information, without any crazy off topic chatter or loud, distracting music. Subscribed, thank you for this tutorial!

In fact, I found your video while looking for white Shrinky Dink to see if that would solve my problem--I'm so glad I found YOUR video instead!! I'm also kicking myself for having tossed all my PS06 plastic containers in the recycling bin 2 weeks ago (I'd been saving them for use in cardmaking and decided that I had far too many on hand).

These are really great tips! Thanks for sharing them- i bought a whole pack of cheap shrink plastic already sanded/SCRATCHED, and thought I'd wasted my money. Now i can just sand them smooth. And great coloring ideas too! My niece grew up with the Little Miss and Mister characters, i think I'll make her a key chain. Thanks again!!!

Just make sure you’re still using a 320 grit sandpaper. Anything higher than 400 will make the plastic too smooth and color pencils won’t stick.

I have looked at many shrink plastic tutorials and none explain as well as you do and your have quality looking products. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent work! Explained thoroughly and very easy for all to understand. I would add to everyone, as a safety precaution, to try and get a dedicated oven to and for your crafting. Having had several college courses on Plastics and Composites Technology, I would warn everyone to please be very aware of the types of materials that you are using. Plastics and composites are extremely fun and if you practice the right Personal Protective Equipment (PPE’s) it can keep you and your loved ones safe from perhaps some toxicities that are found on some materials. Also, if possible, try and use your dedicated oven outside your living space, again, just as a safety measure. Again, great job with this video!😊

I've been interested in using shrink plastic and im really considering buying some so this was super helpful! There's quite some stuff in here i didn't know about

In place of using posca markers, ohuhu is an excellent, money saving alternative. I’ve used them on memorial pieces and they are great!!!! They also last longer.

thank God someone who uses protection for their hands and nose when handling their crafts!! Bravo!

Excellent tutorial! I really learned a lot from watching this. Now I'm ready to use some of those handy tips for my own projects!

I love shrink plastic charms! 😆 I've even made a few of my own with the disposable plastic containers, because this art material is heard to find 😅. I learned a lot of new techniques from this video so I will definitely be trying again, so thanks for sharing. 😁

This is absolutely the most comprehensive video I've seen! Been looking for a while and nothing as informative as this, THANK YOU!!! And can you do a video using all the sealers you listed with the various types of ways to color? (IE: polycrylic on permanent markers, colored pencils, paint pens, pastels; resin on permanent markers, colored pencils, paint pens, pastels) etc... I've tried embossing before and it was a complete failure 😂

Growing up I made shrinky dinks from store bought kits and, feeling nostalgic, had looked up vintage shrinky dinks commercial. This video came up in my suggested videos on the side while watching that video and I am so glad it did! I can't wait to try making little charms or key chains or who knows what! This tutorial doesn't race through everything so fast I can't keep up, I love that everything is explained clearly and products are shown so I'm not cluelessly going to buy a ton of stuff I don't need or the wrong stuff. I love that you show many samples of things you've made and showed actual coloring you were doing. And it didn't hurt that I love cats and I also got stupid excited about the BT21 characters you were working on, lol. Thank you and I can't wait to check out more of your videos after I post this!
