Shrinky Dinks are special sheets of plastic that can be drawn on, colored, or even printed on. You can use any kind of colored pencils, permanent markers, or even acrylic paint to make a design on the Shrinky Dink plastic. After creating your design, you cut it out into your desired shape, like a heart or a star.
Then, you put the Shrinky Dink into an oven or toaster oven, and watch the magic happen. As the plastic heats up, it begins to curl and shrink. The plastic will shrink to about a third of its original size, and the colors will become much more vibrant.
Once the plastic cools down, your design will be much smaller and thicker. You can even punch a hole in it and turn it into a keychain or necklace. The possibilities are endless with Shrinky Dinks, and it's a fun craft that anyone can enjoy!
