This is a nice kit, especially if you already have some experience with shrinky dinks. They worked great. Printed well on my inkjet printer and looked great with some colored pencil colors. Really glad I got this set.

Some crafts are turn the kid loose and let them go and others take a little more patience and effort. This one was that for my daughter. She's a teen but it still took a little practice on sizing and object to figure out just how to get the right look she was going for.

I love that this includes most of what you need to make your own shrinky dink keychains. I used acrylic paint markers and colored pencils and it worked great. I wish there was a little more instructions but that's just because I've never done shrinky dinks before, so it took a few tries to get them the size I wanted.

These sheets are easy to use and start kur very thin. It's good for your printer especially printers that don't like thicker paper. They're about as 'easy" to shrink as any shrink film. It takes some getting used to, and using a spatula helps. Not bad.

This set is 15 Pieces of Shrink Plastic Sheets (8.5 inches by 11 inches). It also comes with 15 keychains and 10 pieces for pierced earrings. The plastic sheets are basically Shrinky Dinks from when I was a kid. However, you get more of the plastic sheets for less money. This arts and craft activity will be fun for my students. I plan on having them write a “love note“ to a family member. Then, I will hole punch each of them (to add the metal ring). Then I’ll put them in the oven, and attached them to keychains for a gift. I could use this for any holiday, like Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or any other holiday I see fit. This set also includes directions on how you can use a printer to print images on the plastic sheets.

"These shrinky dink sheets are so much fun! I used them for a DIY keychain project, and the results were amazing. The sheets are easy to print on and shrink uniformly in the oven. The final pieces come out thick and sturdy, perfect for jewelry or gifts. The instructions were clear, and I love how versatile they are for different crafts. Highly recommend for a fun weekend activity!"

My last “Shrinky Dink” experience was a set from Transformers back in the 80s…before color printing so you had to color them in- but those all turned out great. Sadly, I only have Optimus Prime left, so I’ll probably try to do some of the others I remember at some point… For now, the kids wanted Kirby and Applejack, and I love Saber and Caster from Fate, so I used them for my first couple of attempts.I’m torn between 3 and 4 stars. The first batch was really rough when I followed the instructions. I preheated the oven to 300 and approximated what kind of hole I’d need (no luck there- leave way more space than you’d think- or drill after). They bubbled and warped horribly even though I pulled them out at 1 min. My wife looked up shrink stuff and found most have better luck with heat guns… so I took another set and the failed set out to the workshop… using the baking parchment on a small baking tray, a heat gun, my poor fingers to uncurl the characters once they were a little pliable (and hot) and a block of wood, I was able to get the characters mostly flattened out. I moved on to the new set- they curled even worse, but were (mostly) easier to get under control on the fly- the exception was Kirby, who split a bit.So, results may vary, and likely require wasting some sheets with trial and error, but overall, with some effort, they turn out OK… I’m not sure I’d want to pay $15 for 15 sheets, but they include a lot of rings for straps/necklaces, key rings, and earrings. So, plan out some pages of designs and leave plenty of room for the mounting holes, and you will probably wind up with some pieces that turn out ok.I printed using a color laser jet and flubbed the first page because I didn’t do a test page first to figure out which side was face up. Oops. That one was totally on me. The next couple I got right, but they streaked horribly. I tried to get my old inkjet going (no luck), but with what I had I fixed the messed up and missing spots with colored pencils and a paint marker for the black lines on both Kirbys… the paint marker worked well for Kirby’s lines. Not so much for spots on Medea’s cloak when held up to light. Her foreground cloak ring was missing in one so I redrew in pencil and did all the trim with “golden yellow” Crayola colored pencil. For the second try on her, I went with black colored pencil and just redid a whole section even though it was just a couple blank spots-because I wanted it to be even. Again, trim with golden yellow colored pencil. That turned out better.So, while I wish it came with more sheets, that the instructions specified how big of a hole you’d need to make, and how much material to leave around the edges (the latter, which I vaguely recalled from the 80s as about a third of an inch which I eyeballed while cutting), and the issues with bubbling and warping- which I was able to mostly resolve with a heat gun… given the nostalgic value and the extras so you can hang your creations, I’ll still give it 4 stars. Your mileage may vary… but for all my issues, I really enjoyed the project and look forward to improving with the next batch.

I used this in my laser jet printer and it printed out great. I started with a 1.5" square piece and it ended up shrinking down to about 5/8". So it's about 40% as big as it was starting out. It didn't take long to put it in the oven and it shrunk down quickly. Then when I took it out I pressed down to make it flat. I'm happy with the performance!
