Turn Garbage Into Shrinky Dinks

YAY!!!!!!! I love this! I used to use shrinky dinks all the time, but it was to darn expensive

awesomeeeeeee! i loved shrinky dinks i had a whole pack but they ran out cant wait to try this wiht me and my sis

What recycle number is it?

no it will not damage the pan. But if you are worried it might you can put foil down on the sheet.

will it damage the pan?

LOVE IT! Idon't have to buy shrinky dinks again lol..

This is great! Thanks for the upload!

can you do this using a heatgun?

i have been colllecting #6 now that i FINALLY found what it is! for me & my daughter to do the homemade shrinky dinks thing but your using what # recycle plastic #? #5? what other #'s can use besides #6 ? thank u

O.M.G That is great does the plastic have to have the recycle symbol on the bottom??

woops sorry only just read all the comments and saw that that's been sail like 4 times. my bad

make sure it's number 6 plastic thou...should say it on the plastic container.

i tried this once but the plastic stuck on the metal and i culdnt remove it.did you put a foil or something?

how doyouknow whichplastic works for this?

the beautiful mistake-Yes, I did have to seal it. I didn't at first and then had to repaint it. That is a good point thanks.

I deff. should try this.

did you have to seal this? the times i've done shrinky dinks and colored them with sharpies, the color wanted to rub off even after putting it in the oven. i usually use colored pencils but still have a bit of sealer on it.

Vvien c.,
Many of us did it in the 80's and we turned out pretty ok...
I just don't cook and bake the plastic at the same time.

very cool! i wonder is it safe to heat plastic in the oven then heat food again??

GUYS!no.6 plastic is needed,And thatr has been stated..
If you cant find any,I'm happy to say stawberry containers are the right kind o' plastic.Another reason to get that dilicous(Sp,Doh'!)Fruit,eh?

Omg thnx for this..Ive always wanted to do this but they dont have craft stores where i live..now i can just use the plastic from the dough nut packages! =P

great idea!!! I love this,

awesome....so i needn't stress out eh? lol..and hellz yeah it's summer here!!

Both will work. 350 will do it faster. I did it lower cause I find it works just as well and it is summer here [as you know Reena] So I guess I was trying to keep cool.

also, i clicked on the link and it said 350 degrees and you wrote 250. which one works best?

YAY! Thanks a lot! I cant find shrink plastic here neither!!THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOUUUUUU!! <3

Is it thick enough and strong enough to be a button?

you can, I didn't. I used a drill to cut the hole cause I have a drill but no holepunch so whatever works for you.

should i punch the holes out before i bake it? in order to make a charm out of it?

oh miiiiiiiiiiiigoooooooooooodness!!!! You are amazing!!! Amazing!!!

I might hav 2 try this, I have shrink plastic, but if this works it'll b great, i love my recycling.

SwEEEEEEt!!!

OH THATS SO COOL! I've never seen shrink plastics, SO THIS IS SO COOL!!!

That's very funny, I found the same tutorial a few days ago. I wanted to try it, but I haven't found the right type of plastic yet. (No. 6 is needed) But I'm so happy to see that it really works!

Great Idea for recycling all the plastic we seem to go through in our house! Thank you muchly for this idea, I can't wait to give it a go!

Such a good idea!
I like that

Brilliant! can't wait to try this out.

Very smart! I'm going to try this!
