Srink Plastic

[Swan]

I have seen several people talking about this and I was wondering if shrink wrap will work for printing on than shrinking. Is it safe for pictures. I am wanting to make a smaller version of the tree of life print I have. I do not want it to be a picture since it is for my title page and since I could not find a die cut, this is the best I could come up with. Thanks for any info.

are you talking about shrinky dinks? If so I can give a little help!
first you need to make sure you buy computer shrinky dinks. They sell it at Michael's. If you use the regular kind the ink will just wipe off. plus the ink can smear up your printer.
Also use color pencil not crayons they leave a wax smudge film that will smear (at least I found this to be the problem with white).
Hope that is some help to you!

Thanks Spinning,I think that is what I want I saw it on DIY yesterday. Do you know what section I can find it in.

i found it in the card making section. Just make sure it is the computer kind...Have fun with it. I made a Mickey mouse shaker box I did him in shrinky dinks and put it on the side and then made some star for inside the shaker part. It was fun. But it would have been so much easier if I bought the print stuff! or at least the white color plastic!

I have that one. It is my favorite embelishment. I am saving it for something special.

Thank you I am so glad you liked it! I always try something different for the swaps! Things I don't usually do!
