Have you ever Shrinky Dinked?

Tweet

I remember doing these as a kid and wondering what can I do with it now. Here is a brief introduction: The very first SHRINKY DINKS were sold on October 17, 1973 at Brookfield Square Shopping Mall in Brookfield Wisconsin. Since that time there has been over 250 different Toy Activity and Craft Kits created and marketed. SHRINKY DINKS SHRINK to approximately 1/3rd their original size and actually become 9 times thicker. Simply place the SHRINKY DINKS piece you created into a Home Oven or Toaster Oven for 2 magic minutes. Watch as your creation gets smaller and smaller. It's "MAGICAL" and it's so quick and easy to do! People from all over the world, ages 4 to 90 years are creating items from our line of SHRINKY DINKS shrinkable plastic sheets: Bright White, Crystal Clear, Brown, Black and our most popular, Frosted Ruff N' Ready…this is the plastic that has been machine roughened to accept any Colored Pencil. Our newest addition to our creative line of shrinkable plastic is SHRINKY DINKS for Ink Jet Printers. We apply a patented coating to our Bright White shrinkable plastic sheets. This coating allows you to print any image from your computer or digital camera onto the plastic sheet. Photographs are really exciting but the possibilities are endless!! This last paragraph has me really intrigued. My girls and I just got started making bead earrings and I see lots of potential here. I'm going to the craft store tonight and I hope I can find this new paper to use in a printer. This would be so cool! So what have you made with Shrinky Dinks? They sure have come a long way!
