Great product! best in arts and crafts

Tested with Tinkerbell. I first drew (on the matte side) with a mechanical pencil (which erases very well) and then drew with Uni-Posca markers. I then cut it out with an X-Acto knife and punched a couple of times to make a good sized hole to shrink it down to the correct size of the pendant and followed the instructions - set the oven temp to 325 and tightened the hot plate. lined with parchment paper. Place in the oven when fully heated. It says bake 1-3 minutes but you need more. It starts…

They are perfect and so cool!

Just received these yesterday and was planning to make handprints/footprints for key chains (I saw a video of this craft online!).

Just trust and leave them there for about 5-7 minutes and they will go from completely curled up to completely flat and…

Pros
  • Recommended for ages 5+

Great product with some limitations

This is an amazing product when used properly. I've stamped, colored with alcohol markers and crayons, and even carved. You will need Tsukineko StazOn Ink for stamping. Most other inks require heat setting on the plastic, which is difficult with shrink plastic. The only markers that work on clear plastic are alcohol markers and they dissolve Stazon ink so you have to paint over the other side. my Prismcolors. You need to sand the plate carefully before stamping and painting. I used Wetordry…
