Does exactly as advertised. I've had a lot of fun with this, very nostalgic. I do recommend shrinking with a toaster oven or something that has even heat. I also recommend using sharpie on one side and colored pencils on the other, gives a cool 3D effect. But be careful when sealing, ink will bleed even after shrinking.

Cumple con la descripción, buen artículo para trabajos manuales.

Good but expensive. Should have checked their other colour options as white or clear wouldn’t have mattered for my project. Fun material to work with! Would recommend but check your options for prices.

En precio, cantidad y tamaño son perfectos, pero el acabado lijado que te permite pintar con colores es casi nulo, se necesita lijar de nuevo para poder usar con lápices de colores o de plano solo usar plumones a base de alcohol para que se quede sobre la hoja antes de cocer.

LO PROBÉ CON DISTINTOS MATERIALES PARA COLOREAR LA LÁMINA Y TODO SE VE MUY MAL PARA HACER PINES. SÓLO LLEGA A VERSE MEDIANAMENTE BIEN PINTANDO CON SHARPIE, PERO ALGUNOS PLUMONES CORREN SU TINTA EN CUANTO SE CALIENTA EL PLÁSTICO.

LOVE!

me gustó bastante el resultado

Perfecto para hacer colguijes,pones oblo que se antoje, recomendación pintar del lado liso queda más brillante con plumones

The product lived up to my expectations.

Perfectos para pintar colores solidos y hacer llaveros de color/logotipo solido ETCNO SON TRANSPARENTESno sirven para joyeria brillante o figuritas ya que es mate el acabado

Perfecto para manualidades de plástico encogible, aunque viene opaco de un lado (como rayado) y eso dificulta el acabado crsitalino. Pero el mate queda perfecto

Just like the fun Shrinky Dinks we all remember as kids, these are just as fun and easy - they are basically the next generation of Shrinky Dinks. Grafix Sanded Shrink Film has a great surface to color on - these thick sheets of plastic accept lots of media. I have successfully used all sorts of things to add color to these prior to shrinking, but the best advice I can give you is to experiment and see what works best for you. (If you are truly stumped, Sharpies are foolproof with these.) These save you a step since they arrive pre-sanded and ready to go. The sanding helps the plastic really grab and hold onto color - and these retain crazy detail. Stamping with StazOn (or similar permanent ink) is one of my favorite uses for these - it is so easy to make darling embellishments, gift tags, jewelry charms, etc in no time at all with this method. A quick stamp, a bit of color, a hole punched for hanging...heat with a heat gun or toaster oven (or the regular oven) and VIOLA! Very sweet creation that didn't require any drawing or artistic skills at all, but look like they did. I have found these shrink to about 40% of their original size and become quite thick. People will wonder where you bought them and you will enjoy telling them your wacky, crafty self actually made them. (Don't tell them how easy it was - a good artist/crafter never gives up all the secrets! lol)I love using these on "consumable" gifts - flowers, food, etc. You know, gifts that don't last forever. By making a personalized charm and attaching it with a ribbon around flowers...taking an extra 2 minutes to adhere a magnet to the back (after shrinking!) and presenting your personalized magnet with concert tickets...or even spending an extra 5 minutes and adding some super easy ear wires (maybe a bead or two if you have some around) - then attaching them to the edible item you are gifting with bakers string or twine - and you will be giving two gifts in one. Every time the recipient wears the earrings or looks at the magnet, they will remember the gift and think of you. I love stuff like that. (Just remember these shrink to almost half the size you originally create - so be sure to get the correct size magnet!) (Ask me how I know...never mind.)I also used these a lot when my kids were small. I made personalized tags for their backpacks, etc, by attaching these with ball chain key chains. Although the ball chain key chains are incredibly cheap, you could always use whatever you have handy to attach these - ribbon, glue, string, a split ring key chain, etc. Since these are so easy to write on (with Sharpie, for example) and are so easy to read once reduced, I've made some very fun "over the hill" cards, and included a plastic magnifying glass for the aging friend. My problem is not finding a use for these...it is stopping! I want to write, draw, stamp, and then shrink everything! (The phone company probably wouldn't appreciate receiving a shrunken copy of my check as payment, for example. They're sense of humor is lacking. Ask me how I know...forget it.)Ok, ok. I'll stop now!Bottom Line: Extremely easy to use. Accepts a wide variety of media. I find using a heat gun to shrink these to be the easiest method, but they work just as well in a regular or toaster over. These will distort as they shrink, sometimes the plastic kind of folds up on itself. No worries! They usually straighten out without any intervention - if not, CAREFULLY peel apart while the plastic is still warm. (Right out of the oven or just as you turn off the heat gun.) Remember, they will be HOT! Using a pick or similar tool, gently pull apart and press to flatten. You can always briefly return them to your heat source if you need to. Similarly, you can lift the still-warm plastic and carefully lay it over a mold (pop can, cup, bottle, whatever) to shape the plastic. Leave it on the mold until cool. How fun is that?! Just please remember the plastic is HOT and careful attention must be paid to avoid injury. (Ask me how I know...or don't!) It's also important to remember to punch any holes BEFORE shrinking. Although you can drill holes afterward, it is much easier to make the hole prior to heating. (Yes, the hole shrinks, too...so don't make some tiny hole thinking you are only connecting it to a jump ring or something - because the hole will melt closed. Or so I've heard. ) Before heating, the plastic is in sheet form - think thick transparency. After heating, the sheet becomes approximately 9 times thicker and is not at all flexible once cool. (The plastic will snap instead of bend.) These are also not for use in any printer - be sure to get the type for printers if that is your intended use. (Again, ask me how I know...or not!) I wholeheartedly recommend these for adults and children (with supervision for the heating part, duh) and consider these a fantastic family project. The large number of sheets you receive in this package will keep you shrinking for a long time!
