Gloss Find: Shrinky Dinks Are Back!

Remember Shrinky Dinks? Those magical pieces of shrinkable plastic are back and better than ever.

Available in sheets that feed through ink jet printers, the possibilities are endless.

We had too much fun making a variety of miniature plastic photos – check out some of our favorite creations.

- Keychains: Never forget a picture of your little darling again – when people ask, just whip out your keys! Beware: just like you can have way too many keys, it’s possible to go crazy with the Shrinky Dink images and create a mess in your purse.

- Luggage Tags / Backpack Tags: Do away with gaudy scarves and rainbow bands to identify your black suitcase among the hordes of others at the airport – hang photos or other prints from your bag for a unique tag. For kids, they can customize a backpack tag — just in time for Back to School!

- Cake Decor: Instead of spending a fortune on a Power Rangers or Dora The Explorer cake for your little one’s birthday, create your own with readily available images on the Internet and the handy Shrinky Dink sheets!

- Placecards: For a fun favor and when assigned seating may be necessary, stand miniature images of guests around the table instead of boring name cards.

- Holiday Ornaments: Create a “family tree” with old and recent photos of the gang.

Once you’ve printed up your masterpiece(s), the rest is just like you remember: pop ‘em in the oven for four minutes and watch them shrink away!
