We had a great turnout for our Shrinky Dinks project at CraftHack!

We started out with clear and frosted sheets of shrinkable plastic and then used sharpies to draw or trace our designs. We cut them out and maybe punched a hole in the top for making jewelry later.

A couple at a time went into Eileen’s toaster oven. We found ourselves gathering around to watch them transform, the plastic curling up before thickening and setting. It still seems kinda magical.

  1. I loved Shrinky Sinks as a little girl! I had a fashion book of mix and match outfits and patterns to make endless combinations of fashion forward ladies. I remember sitting on the kitchen floor watching through the oven glass in the glow of its light as they got smaller and smaller.
