Also, I use my embossing heat gun to shrink the plastic instead of the oven that way I have more control over curling pieces by holding with tweezers. I love the key chains and I'm going to make them with my granddaughters to give their dad and Papa. ( I just might make them for me and their mom too)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07576209380720190209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-58090619320333185272012-06-05T13:29:03.001-07:002012-06-05T13:29:03.001-07:00So for the "reach for you" one you had t...So for the "reach for you" one you had to write all that backwards? i may sound like an idiot but i was born in the 80s and we never did shrinky dinks when i was a kid - only bake your own stained glass ornament kits :)Kelly, Crossfit Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09887027080113174328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-47110428037483148332011-05-07T15:53:09.842-07:002011-05-07T15:53:09.842-07:00I read somewhere that you can use the clear plasti...I read somewhere that you can use the clear plastic salad bar containers or any plastic that has a 6 in the recycling symbol to make Shrinky Dinks with.

This was perfect. I put her hands on an ink pad and stamped them onto the shrinky dink paper. Then wrote on 1 hand "Hands Down" and on the other hand "You're the best Dad" along w/her name and year. Plan on making them into a key chain for him. They are so stinkin' cute when they got done. Yes, they curled, but then they flattened back out. I know he's going to love these. Thanks for the great ideas. I might use the "plaque" idea for his upcoming birthday & use all 3 of my girls hands for that one.Becky @ Babes in Hairlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04085709641683187860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-65686338119810831272009-06-20T19:28:52.488-07:002009-06-20T19:28:52.488-07:00Oooo, I love Shrinky Dinks!

Just ink your child's hand with embosing ink (it wipes off clean with baby wipes) and press her hand onto the shrinky Dink and let it dry (embossing ink takes longer to dry). I did this on paper every month for the first year with my babies feet. So instead of doing hand prints do her feet (it is easier when they are small than trying to get a hand print).<br /><br />Don't put off getting hand or foot prints till they are older. I love looking back at how small my children's feet were back then. It becomes harder to imagine they were that small.RootsAndWingsCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941828347260961696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-73794338597143186362009-06-15T11:15:13.771-07:002009-06-15T11:15:13.771-07:00I love this idea and am filing it away for later s...I love this idea and am filing it away for later since my 16 month old isn't so great at sitting still. :-) I hope reading continues to be in full force as she grows older too.

Granted this time the only thing we had in common was to use Shrinky Dinks for Father's Day. We talk all the time but most of the time projects like this aren't talked about in detail. I am always surprised and delighted with the out come.<br /><br />The biggest difference between Rebecca's hands and mine are that the figers are spread wider in hers. I think that helped to keep them from sticking to each other. Since mine were inked handprints the boys didn't have to spread out their fingers.<br /><br />Katrina<br /><br />P.S. I think teenagers would be more interested in the shrinking process. It is awesome to watch. Watching them you think they will be horribly crumpled and puckered but magically they flatten back out.RootsAndWingsCohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17941828347260961696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5984202671659312324.post-53222177939005726842009-06-15T05:51:49.500-07:002009-06-15T05:51:49.500-07:00Great ideas...I love all of them!
