Original Shrinkles, Shrink Art Sheets Pastel Yellow Classroom Pack (50 Sheets)

My young daughter used her own pocket money to purchase these and is now in floods of tears. They are useless. The Clear sheets are ridiculous and you CANNOT use felt tips, or pencils or even crayons despite the product info which says use pencils for best results. Permanent markers are the only option which is not something I want to (1) buy, or (2) let my young daughter use on her own, for obvious reasons, as they are permanent. This is a real shame and I'm bitterly disappointed as we've used similar (they were call Shrinkie-Dinks I think, in the past) and pencil colouring was very effective. This is a long review to say DO NOT waste your money, or worse, DO NOT let you kids waste their hard earned pocket money or their Birthday money on this rubbish. Pah! Junk.

Brilliant, I used these as a child and found them online to use for the arts and crafts groups I do at my work/local community centre.Great fun for all ages, I've used them with 2-15 year olds, but even some of the parents had a go and got involved!I find sharpies the most effective, cheap markers smudge and paint flakes once they have shrunk.Hole punch them before you shrink them for a keyring, I just brought jump rings and keyrings in bulk off of Amazon too, or glue a magnet to the back depending on your choice of creation, those are the options I chose due to the size of the sheets, and I didn't cut them down as they are already small, and keyring/magnet size when shrunk.They take seconds to shrink in a heated oven, I placed them on a tray with baking paper, and squashed them with a smooth, hardback book to get rid of any slight curl.I find it easiest to heat one at a time so they're easy to flatten, they cook and cool very quick so not as time consuming as you think, even doing 60 in a row like I have (glutton for punishment).

I’m enjoying drawing on, colouring, cutting out and then heating my Shrinkies to create features for homemade cards.It took me a couple of goes to get nice, flat objects. But, once I realised you have to keep heating (and flattening) longer than I was in the beginning, it worked perfectly - I’m using a heat gun and a teaspoon to press down/flatten, as I couldn’t get objects to lie flat enough for cards when using my oven.My pack of Shrinkies arrived quickly and well packaged. I’m very happy with this purchase.

We absolutely love these! So far they are great. We have started to make teacher gifts - we practiced using some colouring pencils on the first ones (the squirrel and the two faces) and they came out so nice! For the paper and the whole person we used sharpies (outlines and writing are all done in normal pencil) The colour is deeper with the sharpies but I think I prefer the pencil crayon! We hole punched for keyrings but need a bigger hole so will hole punch a bigger space next time. I’m going to try to seal the frosted side with clear nail varnish. Hoping it will clear up the rough side. All in all they’re great!

Please be aware these are NOT A4 sheets, as I made that error. These measure 131mm x 101mm.I had purchased this to create d'n'd miniatures for a d'n'd campaign I am running. After looking around this seemed to be the best option for size, ease of creation and adaptability.I would highly suggest this as an option for anyone else in the same position.Though I made an error buying these thinking they were A4, it turned out far better than expected as they were actually the perfect size. Essentially cut them in half and they become the perfect d'n'd miniatures size. My suggestion is to split them in half precisely. Each measuring 65mm x 101mm.When heating them up in the oven, definitely use foil! I tried it once without and nearly ended up with bits of colourful plastic permenatly stuck to the baking tray, not so much fun.Permenant marker works a charm on them and can come out with some very vivid colours. Light colours darken and dark colours darken even more. So a dark blue is likely to come out nearly black.As I make more miniatures, I'll definitely be coming back here to purchase more sheets.

I had never heard of these before!I saw someone post handmade Christmas decs on Facebook and thought I'd give it go myself.I used coloured pencils for mine (Mabel pines from gravity falls) I bought the white shrinkle sheets, the colour comes out really well on them but you can't trace the image, free hand is fine :)I was surprised by how quickly it shrank but I didn't get mine on a flat surface quick enough so it's not entirely flat.For a first attempt I'm pretty pleased :)

i got these for work (i work at a day service) i tried them out before work to test them and theyre so great. the people at work were fascinated and loved having something to take home (we made magnets). i also did a few with my 7year old niece and her 4year old friend they coloured in images i traced then i sharpied the outline to make them stand out. they turned out great! we used pens pencils and stamps but the stamps didnt work great. i would recomend getting modge podge to seal in designs. i will be buying these again once weve used them up. i love how its such an inclusive activity for all ages and abilities.

These are great. We used them to make cute handprint keyrings at nursery. They could do with being a little bigger to start with. We had to be careful about the placement of the hand to get it on. They were a lot of fun though and greatly received by all the mummies for Mother’s day. I would like it if they were a bit less smelly to bake. I think it’s best to do it in a well ventilated area. Most of ours worked but do allow for a few more sheets than you need. We found a few curled right up and couldn’t be rescued.
