Keycraft - Original Shrinkles, Crystal Clear Shrink Art Sheets (Craft Pack)

Q: Can you print onto this?

Whoever said that you can print onto it obviously hasn't tried it with this product. I tried printing onto it, but the ink wipes off as soon as you touch it. Even when I tried putting some sealant on it, the design just smeared everywhere. I tried a spray type too but it became speckly and it still wiped off. Also the print ink becomes noticeably blotchy even after shrinking. Maybe it'll be different if you have a laser jet printer, but I still won't recommend it.

Q: Is it possible to shrink this plastic with a heat gun?

Yes, that's actually the way I always do it. Be prepared for it curling up on itself - having something like a wooden kebab stick or old pencil can be handy to hold it down, specially if you've got a strong heat gun. It's useful to have something flat, like the back of a wood mounted rubber stamp, nearby so that when you've finished you can press down onto the shrink plastic to make sure it's completely flat & ready for whatever you want to make with it. If you need a hole in your finished item, put that in before shrinking. I find that by putting a kebab stick through the hole, you can not only hold the item still while using the heat gun on it, but also keep the hole open.Hope this helps.

Q: How much does it shrink? Instructions say 7x, so for a badge 3cm long, you'd need to start with it 21cm long! Is that right?

It does sound a lot, but I've always understood that it shrinks to 7 times the length and becomes 7x thicker, so I think I'd bow to the maths theory & go for 21cm. Hope it works.

Great fun to use

Arrived on time and in perfect condition. This is great for the kids the only problem we’ve found is it’s hard to judge how big / small the finished work will be , it would be good to have a guide on the package. Saying that we will definitely be ordering more as the kids love it .

Briliant !

I used these shrinking sheets to create mini floating charms for my glass locket. It worked wonders, as they turned out to be the exact size I wanted (5mm). If you want to colour them though, you have to use sharpies or markers.

making the effect look like ice - which makes Christmas decorations look SO much ...

quick delivery, just what I wanted to make Christmas snow flake shaped decorations (with a kids picture in the middle of it) - the clear shrinkies goes a litlle crackly, making the effect look like ice - which makes Christmas decorations look SO much better, but if for anything else you might be better with the white shrinkies!

Good fun, but a little overpriced

These are great and my stepdaughter and I had great fun making keyrings and earrings. Using a hole punch gives the perfect sized hole for a keyring hook. I love the effect of drawing a large, detailed picture and then seeing it turn into a cute, elaborate little miniature! I made some small gifts (a tiny Tardis and Yoda for a Dr Who and a Star Wars fan) and they were very well received. The only thing is, if you have an impulsive child who draws before thinking, they don't last very long and that makes them quite expensive. Also, because they shrink down so much, one A4 sheet doesn't last that long.

Practise Practise Practise

Good fun, I wish I'd bought two, simply to practise with. Fabulous for flat items, however trying to manipulate the plastic into a shape (ring) is something that requires lots of practise.My biggest problem is the colours just coming straight off as soon as you touch the shrunken item. There neeeds to be much better advice about which colouring products to use that will be permanent.

Love it!

I have made earring, bracelet, necklace charms and keyrings so far! My kids designed theirs (age 4 & 7) and loved the shrinking bit!If I run out of materials before I run out of ideas I'd definitely buy again! Eager to try out the white and frosted versions too. Nice uniform shrinkage, circles stayed circular!
