Not worth it. I got these to try out because the kind I really like is 20 dollars for 6 sheets. I am wasting more money with these because nothing is turning out right. They shrink irregularly shaped and about 4x smaller. I am now also wasting ink. Better off buying the more expensive kind.

The thin plastic sheets have a matte white side and a shiny side. The white side will take inkjet ink…NOT for laser printers since it will melt and ruin your printer. That’s a bonus for those of us who don’t have the laser printers.I wanted to use my craft stamps on the plastic. I used a little pastel to color the background. I will probably need to give the finished item a quick spritz of a fixative because of that. I used an archival ink to stamp the design of the fairy. I did cut the stamp into a fat oval and it shrunk more from top to bottom so came out a circle. Make sure you punch your hole before you heat. I used a regular paper punch on mine.The instruction sheet mentions that it might distort a little. I found the distortion on my test was that it shrunk more from top to bottom than side to side, turning my oval into a circle. I will experiment to see if the distortion remains predictable. If so I can work with the direction of it.I used a craft heat gun to shrink the plastic. I used an awl to hold it in place to make sure I didn’t blow it off the heat mat. There are good videos out there showing techniques on using shrink plastic. I watched one to give me that idea.The instructions included for the plastic are excellent. They are written in black large font on a nice sheet of paper. They include tips and hints. What a great thing to have instructions I didn’t have to squint to read, or get my magnifying glass for. Wonderful!I made a tiny fairy charm that is so cute. I can imagine many things from this plastic including jewelry, but also little fairy garden items like plates or anything flat like little table tops. Being able to miniaturize art or drawings or words is fantastic.I enjoyed using this the first time and can see so many possibilities. Very fun cool plastic.

It is fun. Making smaller art pieces is better than large ones. Put a temp gauge in the oven, accurate temperature is essential, don't rely on the over temp setting. Pre-heat is very important. It shrunk and thicken works well. I made a few iconic city sites and glued to the blank magnum sheets, then cut it out and made fridge magnum out of them. But I did destroyed 3 sheets before I got the hang of it. So, fun and work. Prepared to lose some sheets, if this is the first time. Temperature control is important. Try to stay smaller than 3"x3". More than 5 inches seems to curl and not flat.

I'll say i'm old but not really because when I was a kid, these were the toy to have. Now as an adult I get to have them again but this time make money and sell my creations. I'm making earrings for my various craft shows. As for designs, that's the only tricky part. You'll ned to do a few test to get the sizing correct depending on what you will be making. For example, some of the earrings I made were a bit too big so what I did was make various sizes on one sheet and then before baking marked them with the size numbers so I knew which were the right ones.These can be hand cut (before baking) or you can use a cricut to get them perfect. you'll need to do that print and cut method to have them work though. Cricut can be a pain if you aren't used to it. However it's easier when doing a sheet full of objects rather than hand cutting especially if the item is intricate design.Lastly, you can spray the ink side after baking or even put some uv resin to seal it which will make them last forever with no chips or fading. Oh and drill or clip any holes before baking too because they shrink and the plastic becomes too brittle after and will break your finished pieces. everything must be done before baking basically.

These are great. I like that although there is an option to print onto them, you have to have the right printer to be able to grab the sheets just right. It seemed like my printer had problems grabbing the sheet so I had more problems. I was able to use them just like any other shrink paper and color on them. Maybe there could be a header to each sheet so that the printer can pull it easily. Either way, they work great and my kid enjoys doing these for all different occasions.

I would rejoice so loudly, from the mountain tops, if this product came with better instructions. Especially when it comes to printer settings to get a good final product from it. I have a professional grasp on graphics and printing, but the trial and error to get a usable final product was long winded for sure. I used 3-4 sheets just trying to get my color correct, and even then I was surprised with just how light and washed out I needed to make my print files. It'd be great if they presented some idea of that in the instructions, but they do not. Guess it'll get you to buy more product in the long run. 4/5

These printable shrink plastic sheets worked exactly as expected. I used an inkjet printer, let them dry a bit, and then cut and baked them to make charms and small gifts. They shrank evenly and held the color well. It’s a fun craft to do with kids or for making little custom pieces for school projects, holiday gifts, or keychains. A great value for the amount you get.

These are so much fun! The kids love creating drawings, paintings, whatever, then watching them shrink in the oven. These shrink as much as any I've seen, so if you going for the big (small) effect, this is the one to get.
