I loved making shrinkies when I was a child and this tutorial makes this method seem just so super easy. If you are using permanent markers, you can skip this step if you ant to, but other colouring methods will need this textured surface to stick to the shrink plastic sheet. Featuring multiple colour shrinkies, 3 necklace chains, keyrings, and more, there’s combinations galore to choose from! We couldn’t quite get the shrinkies to flatten – they always had turned up edges to a lesser or greater extent. Once Shrinkies are cool, create your own charm bracelets and necklaces with the enclosed cords and connectors!

Before using my oven for food I turned it on to 400 degrees and let it bake for about 20 minutes to get rid of the smell.Tiger Tribe acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land it works on, the Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation. Place the plastic on a thin cookie sheet (not the insulated type) covered with parchment paper or aluminum foil. There are so many funky things to make with the sheets as an adult, from unique homemade jewellery to cute ring bowls, stylish napkin rings and mini terrariums. Avoid shrinking particularly large shrinky dinks s as they may fold in on themselves too much during heating and get stuck together! Compact, easy to pack and convenient to carry, we make gifts and creative products that are ideal for little tigers (and parents of little tigers) on the go.
