Shrinky Dink Charms

[Ladylasil]

That is Awesome...Good to know you have to write backward...so I am going to print my grandbabies on some and print them out on the computer and make charms for the scrap books. I'll flip the pictures in my art program so they turn out correctly...:o) hehe

[hellokittycharms1]

do you know if you can get those at target, cause they didnt have them at my michaels

[Cupcakegirl5000]

How much film did she use for all of the ones she made?

[angelpichu1]

i just like the sound it makes when you wave the paper around :)

when i was looking for it, at JoAnn's, I found the shrink dink film in the kid's crafts supplies.

[PsychoBillyNiki]

Took our Hobby Lobby 2 hours to find the film for us, we walked the entire store. When we described it to them they looked like we were describing space age technologies.

We call it shrink plastic in the UK. You can also heat it using your heat gun. Its lovely seeing the youngsters crafting too!!!

Our family had a great time with shrinky dinks this past summer too. My husband was even into it. He used my CM circle and square punches and my Fiskars end punches and ruined them for cutting paper. So, I just had to buy more punches. :)

[OoLollipops]

Very cool. Great video. I want to try this now.

[cathcrops]

Awesome job Sarah ! Love your trousers/shorts-there are so cute x.

[10angelkisses]

Thank you Sarah!! WOW...you brought back so many memories for me. I used to play with Shrinky Dink when I was your age.

[dkrisko4]

Yaaayyy Sarah! That's a great project I can do with my nieces and nephews..Way cool! Thanks for showing us this technique.

[StampinRN]

GREAT JOB SARAH!!



[TYJ419]

Good job Sarah! You're such a cuttie pie! My daughter is19 and I so enjoy crafting with her and she with me. We just love your mom's stuff and I see you're following in her foot steps. What did you color the shrinky dinks with?

[stampyra]

Fun project! Great job Sarah. I bet Trevor is next-lol! I'm sure someone else pointed this out, but you can use your coropadile to punch a hole once they've shrunk if you forget to punch a hole first. JIL

[smscrapper]

She is adorable Laura. I can't wait until I get to craft with my daughter. She's only 6 months!

[ShiningMist]

If you use a different shape of hole punch, will it shrink to the same shape or will it go to a circle?

[FollowThePaperTrail]

@ShiningMist It will always stay the same shape, just LOTS smaller!

[Zikthearcticfox]

@FollowThePaperTrail ... O: !! Do want! I like the kind that you can print through a printer though, and cut out the shapes.

[goofchicken95]

@ShiningMist it will be the shape you hole punched

[marcie8888]

[stitchertoo]

[Twinsmoms]

[MsJoyceG]

Thanks to your "Guest Designer" she did a wonderful tit. Apples don't fall far from the tree. Gave me an inspiration for some ATCs. Thanks

[1966Allyson]

Can you get the shrinky dink film at Michaels? I asked for it a few weeks ago and they were clueless about it. Can you tell me what part of the store it would be in? Your duaghter is a cutie and so much excitment :) I know you love crafting with her :)

[FollowThePaperTrail]

@1966Allyson At the Micheals near us it is by all the rubber stamping stuff.

[MsJoyceG]

@1966Allyson  Hi, I find the shrinky dink stuff at Joann's and Hobby Lobby, about the same price either place. It is often with the childrens crafts.

[stephanoid69]

could you stamp the images with staz-on or any ink pad? Will that work?

[FollowThePaperTrail]

@stephanoid69 Yes, StayzOn is what works

[hahymen]

Awsome job Sarah!!! This the perfect idea...I was  having trouble finding the right charms for one of my nephews album and ya just unblocked the wall I had run into...Thank you!

[KINDERKRAFTS]

Hi again Laura...

WOW ~~ Sarah is super cute...and she explained everything in a really fun way...

She looks just like you Laura...you can tell she is your daughter...lol...lol...

I like that you can cut out die cut shapes...where can you get this stuff...does Michaels sell it...

[PAR4theCoUrSe1]

Sarah...you are an awesome instructor! I learned so much about Shrinky Dinks and how to make them. I think I'm going to try to make some this weekend. Thanks so much for explaining the whole process. Can't wait to have fun!

[littlelyds1]

cool !!

[Scrappinology]

You can also use your sizzix machine to cut the designs out too! Thanks Sarah! Thanks Laura!

*gina*

[CrysTvsky]

You can use your Cricut to cut Shrinky Dink. It works great with a deep cut blade.

[hkay2008]

Great job Sarah!

[charity985]

awesomeeeeeeeeeeeeee sarah...you are so creative like your mom!!! hugsss

[Scrappingpinklady]

What a great teacher Sarah is. She did a great job. I see her following in her moms footsteps. Love all of here charms that she showed. thank you Sarah for showing us how to use the shrinky dink material.!

[reginaangel]

wow, how much fun! thanks for sharing!

[gailyanne]

Cut scraps into strips, color the strips and weave them like a placemats. The strips shrink and fuse togehter. You can also weave wire or any other scrap of "stuff" you have. Hot glue on a brooch pin. I entered some of these in an artfair for my afterschool kids and the judges loved them. Great way to use scraps. Great job Sarah!!

[bcdoula]

OMG...she is so cute and she looks just like you!!! Well done Sarah!!

[Meighen21]

Great Job Sarah. Going to have to try and do these with my niece and nephews. :) They turned out great. ♥HUGS♥

[purityfaith700]

I looove these charms! Sarah is a good teacher and is so adorable! : )

[Sarawisboo]

how fun! :)

[DeraLynnD]

Have you ever used your heat tool? I stick a stylus into the hole I punch in the material and then heat it up with the heat tool. I've had a problem with ink smearing. What do you use to color your shrinky dinks? Thanks for sharing!  ~Dera

[FollowThePaperTrail]

@DeraLynnD The heat tool works great too. The oven is easier for the volume the kids make! and a bit easier to control the safety issues. We use "regular" colored pencils and markers...in other words, the inexpensive ones!

[kayearlkay]

Awsome. I love doing the shrinky dink...Its fun. Great job Sarah...Piece OUT!!!

[passionwriter70]

So adorable! Sarah, I love your hand drawn art! I love original art by kids! That makes the best kid signature to any project! Sarah, you are adorable! Thanks for sharing your fun project with all of us!

God Bless!

Lynn

[catladyof5]

I love Shrinky Dinks and Sarah you did an awesome job on the video.........I like to use Staz-on with stamps and colored pencils to color them in too...........Peace out!

[afallas72]

i have been wanting to make shrinky dink charms for my mini can you use stamped images with copic markers?

[FollowThePaperTrail]

@afallas72 Use Stayz On ink for stamping...not sure about the Copics. We use regular markers.
