Are you going to share those tips with us? I've got some Shrinky Dinks paper around here somewhere....

sure! First, be sure to really read the directions that come with the paper pack. You have to do things like lighten the LO and change the contrast and stuff. Second, line the baking sheet w/ regular paper and be sure to put a few sheets of paper over the plastic with some knives holding them down (otherwise they might curl too much and get stuck). Also, be sure to seal them with spray sealant afterwards so the ink doesn't get messed up.

I think thats it. Oh, and always always ALWAYS remember to punch the holds in them BEFORE you bake them. I learned that one the hard way. :thumbup:

I just bought some gloss spray sealant at HobbyLobby. BUT... they packaging for the shrinky-dinks talks about using clear nail polish too (especially for things that will get wet like cups, etc). It might make for a stronger barrier.
