glitch at 0:31, just ignore it. Also sorry instructions go by kinda fast
yup, so really easy & pretty simple 2mm thick plastic charms you can use for jewelry or whatnot. Good thing is, you get to recycle

  • Oh my god, I didn't know you could just use the plastic as is! I mean, I knew there were products for shrink art that were made with it, but... Holy shit! You genius! Thanks for posting this! :D Rock on, Recycler! :3

  • @delicatebiscuit youre welcome :) but I didn't think of this so this doesnt make me a genius lol, I read about this technique before so i just wanted to make a video to share with everyone

  • I saw this on a web site an wanted to try it but they said that there was a risk factor because ur melting the plastic and the fumes could get in ur lungs... is that true or is it safe?

  • @SuperCraftyGirl100 there is a possibility that fumes would be released. but i doubt that its dangerous , because shrinkydinks (the brand name product) is the practically the same thing and they would be in trouble if their product released fumes. i would definitely reccomend letting the air circulate though, by keeping windows open etc. in the room you're baking it in.

  • why does have to be #6 plastic??

  • @LilAngel0425 anything else won't work

see all
