Shrinky Dinks....Such Fun!


Sometimes inspiration is found in the toy section! The childrens craft section to be exact. I've been having a great time making elements for my jewelry using shrinky dinks. The whole process is fun! Look at my examples below to see just how much they change in size once baked....



Now I must make some beads to go with these silly little elements. Look for some soon....I have other ideas too!

I always enjoyed Shrinky Dinks.. Still do...if the truth were known. What's the secret in getting them to stay flat during baking? Mine always CURL or Bow in the centers. Yours are so colorful. Sweet.

They will curl up during the baking process. Just wait and they will flatten on their own in the oven! Can't wait to do more Dinks!!

Thanks for the info. on them flattening in the oven. I must have never been patient enough to leave them in the oven in order for them to flatten out. Now, I know...patience. Have a great day.
