Shrink plastic
 

Hi,

I want to make some charms with shrink plastic (shrinky dinks). I have the paper, but what ink, stamps work the best? Solid images or color in images? Do copics work? Any tips?

Also if you have any in your gallery I would love to see them.

I tried to search but everytime I do I get a database error?

Thanks,
Katie

Stazon ink works best. I have used solid stamps with colored stazon or outline stamps and colored them with pencils (NOT watercolor pencils though).

I think stazon ink works best. I think you can also use Brillance ink (I heard this somewhere, but haven't try it myself). You can color the outline stamps w/copics, sharp or bic markers, just be careful of coloring the outlined area.

I use Stazon too. I have a bunch of charms in an album in my gallery if you are interested in seeing some from a swap I hosted. Have fun! This is soooo addicting!
