That's very funny, I found the same tutorial a few days ago. I wanted to try it, but I haven't found the right type of plastic yet. (No. 6 is needed) But I'm so happy to see that it really works!:)

should i punch the holes out before i bake it? in order to make a charm out of it?

08 Jul 20:47

you can, I didn't. I used a drill to cut the hole cause I have a drill but no holepunch so whatever works for you.

YAY! Thanks a lot! I cant find shrink plastic here neither!!THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUUU!! <3

19 Jul 01:14

also, i clicked on the link and it said 350 degrees and you wrote 250. which one works best?

19 Jul 22:29

Both will work. 350 will do it faster. I did it lower cause I find it works just as well and it is summer here [as you know Reena:-)] So I guess I was trying to keep cool.

20 Jul 19:29

awesome....so i needn't stress out eh? lol..and hellz yeah it's summer here!!

very cool! i wonder is it safe to heat plastic in the oven then heat food again??

21 Sep 14:22

Vvien c.,
Many of us did it in the 80's and we turned out pretty ok...
I just don't cook and bake the plastic at the same time.

did you have to seal this? the times i've done shrinky dinks and colored them with sharpies, the color wanted to rub off even after putting it in the oven. i usually use colored pencils but still have a bit of sealer on it.

24 Jan 01:13

I deff. should try this.

22 Apr 11:29

the beautiful mistake-Yes, I did have to seal it. I didn't at first and then had to repaint it. That is a good point thanks.

no it will not damage the pan. But if you are worried it might you can put foil down on the sheet.
