Shrink plastic

The thin plastic sheet shrinks considerably and becomes several times thicker when heated in the oven or with a heat gun, resulting in a rigid, lightweight pendant. The design keeps its shape and detail, although the colours become more intense and darker after shrinking, so it is best to draw in lighter shades.

Clear shrink plastic with one matt side is suitable for drawing with coloured pencils or markers, which grip the roughened surface well. White sheets provide an opaque base on which colours stand out more. For printing photos and your own designs, there are sheets for inkjet printers with a coating that absorbs the ink.

For beginners, pre-drawn sheets featuring animals, flowers or Christmas decorations are practical, as they only need colouring in and cutting out. Key fob kits include a hole punch, key rings, earring hooks or chains in addition to the plastic, and some also come with coloured pencils.

The hole for the ring must be punched before baking, because the shrunk plastic is already hard. The sheet size is chosen according to the number and size of the pieces, from small 10 × 15 cm sheets up to A4. Keep the room ventilated while baking, follow the manufacturer's instructions for temperature and time, and let children craft only under adult supervision.
