How Our Shrinky Dinks Kits Work
Draw or Trace
Use the included Shrinky Dinks colored pencils to draw or trace your favorite designs onto the Shrinky Dink paper. Be creative – the possibilities are endless!
Cut Out
Carefully cut out your designs using scissors. Make sure to leave a small border around each design for the best results.
Bake
Place your cut-out designs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to the recommended temperature and bake your creations. Watch as they magically shrink and thicken in just a few minutes!
Create
Once cooled, your miniature designs are ready to be used! Turn them into beautiful Shrinky Dink jewelry, fun charms, or unique decorations.
Do not use microwave!
You should not use a Shrinky Dinks microwave method because microwaves heat unevenly, which can cause the plastic to warp, curl unpredictably, or melt unevenly. Shrinky Dinks are designed to be heated in a conventional oven where the heat is even, allowing the plastic to shrink uniformly. Using a microwave can also result in overheating, which may damage both the Shrinky Dinks and the microwave, potentially releasing harmful fumes.

Shrinky Dinks Tips
For best results, use fine-tip permanent markers or colored pencils, and always preheat your oven to the recommended temperature.
Precision and Detail
Fine-tip markers and colored pencils allow for greater precision and finer details in your designs. This is crucial because the shrinking process can make intricate details more pronounced. Using fine tips ensures your artwork remains clear and sharp even after shrinking.
Vibrant Colors
Permanent markers and high-quality colored pencils provide vibrant, long-lasting colors that do not fade or smudge during the baking process. This ensures your finished pieces are bright and visually appealing.
Less Bleeding
Fine-tip markers and colored pencils reduce the risk of color bleeding. This is important for maintaining clean lines and preventing colors from blending unintentionally, which can happen with broader or lower-quality markers.
Even Shrinkage
Preheating the oven ensures that the temperature is consistent and evenly distributed, allowing the Shrinky Dinks to shrink uniformly. This prevents uneven shrinkage, which can cause warping or distortion of your designs.
Optimal Hardening
The recommended temperature is carefully determined to ensure that the plastic sheets shrink to the right size and thickness. Baking at the correct temperature ensures that the plastic hardens properly, resulting in durable and sturdy finished pieces.
Preventing Over-Baking or Under-Baking
Baking at the right temperature for the specified time prevents over-baking, which can cause the plastic to become too brittle, and under-baking, which can result in insufficient shrinkage and weak structures. Preheating ensures that the plastic reaches the optimal state for durability and quality.
What Our Customers Have to Say
During a Family Game Night, we learned that ‘Plumpy,’ a character from Candyland, was removed in 2002 for promoting an unhealthy lifestyle. This came up when my brother mentioned that The Chocolate Swamp wasn’t the area’s original name—Alexa confirmed it was once The Molasses Swamp.
During a Family Game Night, we learned that ‘Plumpy,’ a character from Candyland, was removed in 2002 for promoting an unhealthy lifestyle. This came up when my brother mentioned that The Chocolate Swamp wasn’t the area’s original name—Alexa confirmed it was once The Molasses Swamp. None of us remembered Plumpy, but his name made the adults laugh so hard they fell out of their chairs. So, for Christmas, I used Shrinky Dinks to make everyone a Plumpy and a Candyland kid ornament—because we never forget a good laugh.
Note #1 – I bought the ‘frosted’ Shrinky Dinks, but I really wish I had chosen the ‘crystal clear’ ones. Tracing the characters was tough without a bright light, and a light board would have made things much easier. So: buy the crystal clear ones if you’re tracing something!
Note #2 – These Shrinky Dinks shrink a lot! They reduce to about one-third of their original size, but the colors become even more vibrant.
Note #3 – I made the mistake of using a kitchen knife, and instead of a small hole, I just split the material. Once baked, Shrinky Dinks are too thick to punch through—so now my ornaments are very tiny bookmarks instead!

The 25-pack of clear Shrinky Dinks is great! I loved them as a kid, my kids loved them, and now I’m getting them for my grandkids.
I was shocked at the price on Amazon, so I checked Michaels and found them for $12.99.

I was shocked at the price on Amazon, so I checked Michaels and found them for $12.99. I’ll definitely be buying my Shrinky Dinks there—especially with a 20% coupon. Michaels always has some sort of discount!

I’m a teacher and had my kids make Shrinky Dinks keychains for Father’s Day—they turned out AMAZING!

One SUPER IMPORTANT TIP: The Shrinky Dinks package says they shrink in 2-3 minutes, but at 2 minutes, they curl up and look ruined. Don’t panic! Just leave them in for 5-7 minutes, and they will flatten out perfectly. If you take them out curled, just put them back in—they fix themselves!
I cut the Shrinky Dinks sheets into fourths, punched holes before baking, and they were the perfect size. My students and I used colored pencils, then I spray-painted theirs to seal. I used clear nail polish on mine—it works too! So easy and looks great!
