Shrinky Dinks?






I decided to enter a challenge for the Etsy beagles Street team and I had no idea what to do. I read an article online about shrinky dinks. Maybe you are familiar with them but I was not. So I decided to go buy some and give it a try. I thought since it said for kids 5-100 this would be easy. It was challenging just to practice. It was fun watching the plastic shrink in the oven right before your eyes but then the next time I looked where did it go? All curled up. Okay that was not what I wanted. It took me several tries just to get 2 alike. Here is my shrinky dink paw earrings..........

  2. I love shrink plastic! It's a fun medium to play with. There's a brand I prefer called "Lucky Squirrel". I think it shrinks more evenly than Shrinky Dink brand.
