You colour them in and then put them in the oven and they shrink.

If you put a hole into it then it can be a tag

lmao at the responses.

they are little pieces of plastic that you can buy either with an imagealready or you can design your own then you can shrink either with an oven or a proper heat gun {not hair dryer}...they are quite fun and you can turn them into fridge magnets or keyrings etc, could be a good presie idea.

I used to work in a craft shop and we had fun with these.

here is a video of how its done

:thumbsup: Great fun - hobbycraft or any good craft shop do them.

Don't forget if you're making keyrings you need to punch the hole before you shrink them 'cos you won't be able to do it afterwards! :laughing:

I ordered Shrinkles from this site the other night. Postage is free. They were sent by first class post and were well packaged. I was very impressed with the service. :thumbsup:

Yeh, Mushpea, I was gonna say that. We had to make our own entertainment in those days! might try crisp packs with the children:laughing: Bought some shrinkles for my son, and if I remember correctly they didn't work too well.
