I have used shrinkles as that is what we have in England Happy I can only get it when I go back home to Oxford (Liverpool is a long way away from there :S)Otherwise I could have sent you some :/
OMG I have had a bit of a battle with my sewing room today (and won hoorah) (Well its kind of a draw until tomorrow - but I intend to win ) I have just asked my partner nicely to post the teaser pics for you tomorrow (rather than today) as his little sister has come over to stay for the night. Their parents have gone to the theatre - so we are having a movie night in plus the wii Happy

A friend of mine has made shrinky dink earrings using discarded #6 plastic containers. I also found some online using #6 and #5 plastics. I haven't done this myself, but I have seen her results and they're pretty great!

@ Selina, I know what you mean, I have company coming this week too, and I have to clean up my craft room so it can be a guest bedroom. I have discovered that I have way more stuff packed in there than I thought!

@ Natalia, I was just making some beads with those types of plastic and was kinda wondering if they would work. Im glad you said something, lol Now I will totally try it out! Thanks
