DIY Plastic Custom Name Keychains with the Cricut Machine | Shrink Plastic | Vinyl

[@AmyMade]

You can use ALL Cricut cutting machines to cut shrink plastic with this trick/hack

[@StraightOuttaContent]

Truly amazing! The Mimaki UJF-6042 might be something you could use to add to your operation.

[@christyalexia]

you can tell how much trial and error has went into your processes. I think your videos are always so thorough and straightforward :) your results are always amazing!

[@RussDahlberg]

I was watching like, okay, clear looks good. But then I saw the black and that looks like money! well done.

[@xVinceCx]

Extra like for dial calipers! 👍

[@StarryThursday]

Making a little size guide using the shrink plastic is genius! I never would have thought of that.

[@stljh6833]

This is the coolest video for shrink plastic and vinyl! Thank you for the exact instructions. I never would've thought of measuring and going back into your design software to know the size of the vinyl. It's absolutely brilliant!

[@CherryDempsy]

I made these and they were loved but they break easy. My mom had hers for about 6 weeks before it broke, no epoxy on that one. My husband’s broke within 4 hours, had epoxy. My brother’s, without epoxy, broke in a few days and he wanted another one to replace it. Made it with epoxy this time, but he won’t put it on his keys because he didn’t want it to break. So, not really usable. I made some for my 30 nieces and nephews and told them they break easy so choose wisely where to put it. They did love how they looked though. They thought it was super cool. So I still got cool aunt points.

Thank you for sharing

[@gabzwilson2750]

Good to know, I think I’m gonna try double layering the shrink plastic with resin .Maybe even 3 layers, it’ll still be light enough for a keychain and won’t break as easily

[@guyg6728]

@gabzwilson2750 Hi! Brand new here. Can you elaborate a little bit on what you mean? How do you double layer the shrink plastic with resin?

[@sewsowdesignstudiowfelicia3097]

WOW! What a cute little sellable craft! I love them! I had never heard of shrink plastic before. I’m going to try this. Thanks for such a well put together video!

[@yolanda8693]

that two pass trick was a life saver for a project I was working on. Thank you SO MUCH!

[@creativesea.design]

You can create your own material and copy those settings but change it to 4 passes. Also, after Cricut finishes, don't unload, check your project in a corner and you can cut again if you need, it will cut exactly on the same lines.

[@kit3417]

I am new to Shrink Plastics and Cricut. I came across your channel while researching and I just wanna say you do a really good job in these videos explaining everything beginners need to know and it's really digestible and easy to understand. Thank you so much!

[@MegaJman2009]

I'm so glad you were very detailed about how to resize everything after the plastic shrunk. I kept wondering how you could possibly perfectly size the vinyl. Thankfully I have a caliper, vinyl, and resin, so I just need the plastic and Keychains ❤ thank you!!

[@Muffty0805]

What a thoroughly thought out video, so precise and to the point. Such a rare thing on you tube. Thank You for sharing!

[@iLoveLeatherNYC]

So CUTE!! Great ideas, thank you for taking time to post.

[@MyInfojunkie]

The idea to make a ruler out of the shrink plastic is genius.

[@LauraSmith-m5t]

This was the unicorn of a video that I needed. Thank you SO MUCH!

[@lindao7887]

That is so cool Amy! Something new and different for a change. LOL, I'm 72 years old and played with "shrinky dinks" when I was a kid. Makes me want to try this for old times sake. 😁🩵

[@MileyonDisney]

You've always got such cool stuff! I have the shrink plastic left over from Christmas ornaments, so I'm gonna try this. Thanks!

[@hippiesister100]

I have watched countless videos on this process. But you helped me so much! Well done! ❤

[@whitneychrzanowski3140]

A shirk ruler is such a smart idea

[@ms.d6857]

I have never heard of shrink plastic, and I'm not sure how your channel showed up in my thread since I wasn't even searching for this, but I'm glad it did. I went straight to Amazon. I craft, so this is perfect to add to it. Your video was on point and very detailed without being long, I appreciate that.

[@abigailrosado8166]

Which one did you get?

[@ms.d6857]

​@@abigailrosado8166 hey I'm sorry I didn't realize you had asked a question. I went to Michael's instead and got the clear shrinky dinks kind. I haven't made it yet that's why I came back to this video to get it fresh in my head again. I'll probably do one tomorrow.

[@peaceibeh29]

​@@ms.d6857have you made it yet? pls how did it turn out? I can't get shrink plastic in my country, does it have another name?

[@mentesymanoscreativas]

Love the studio, amazing I don't have to imagine the whole studio anymore, thank you for sharing.🙏😍❤

[@UnFairGuidelines]

I love how your brain works. Watching you do the measurements and how you shrunk down the vinyl part of the decal was amazing. Your brain works a lot like mine. Big brain energy🎉

[@AJaySmiles]

I'm so excited 🎉😊!! I can't wait to make it. I have crafted in so long. This gave me hope again ❤

[@TrimpOfRedwall]

What a great and simple project! Now I'm doubly motivated to find where I put all my shrink plastic so I can try this out

[@meh_lady]

Thanks to your shrink plastic videos it got on my radar and I use it for so many things now! You’re so creative with it. I make tons of shaker bits with it. 😊 I’ve been into doing my nails for over 30 years and my craft and nail supplies are often one in the same. Another great way to bond resin to shrink plastic is UV nail basecoat!

[@AmyMade]

Awesome! Uv gel nail base sounds great for small scale projects! Will have to try it! Ty!

[@meh_lady]

@@AmyMade For shaker bits I stick them on a piece of wide tape to keep them still while brushing it on. I leave them on it for doming with UV resin and put the whole strip under the lamp. Some brands do smear the ink slightly so there may be some trial and error. 🙂

[@pjfoltz8810]

These are so cute! Great gifts!

[@cherrycordiaI]

I absolutely love these. You're making me want to 'borrow' my sister's cricuit.

[@craftingwithshaneda]

Love this!! Your tutorial was well made and you explained each step perfectly. Thank you!! I cant wait to give this a try!

[@Hisjew3l]

God bless you Amy!❤

[@elbanti]

Wow that is so freakin cool! The only things I shrank in the oven as a kid in the 70's & 80's were crisp packets! Soooo many craft projects yet to try in one lifetime... so little time to do even a fraction of them!

love your video so much. Would love to find out the font you use here? if Possible. Thank you

[@hannahl4108]

Wow! Awesome work!

[@ladycountry68]

Hi Amy, I don't have an oven for my crafting, what would you suggest to use in its place for this project?

[@AmyMade]

You cm use a heat gun

[@michaelpandolfi9765]

They look awesome nice job

[@pjshat]

Fantastic! As always! Thank you!!

[@ShayL_14]

Great job! What font did you use?

[@Abu-Hudhud]

Its amazing, better than epoxy resin

[@creativesea.design]

Nice video! For the Cricut hack though, there is no need for that, you have 2 options: 1) go to edit materials and either edit the material you are using or crate a new one with the same pressure setting but 4 passes OR 2) after the machine is done, don't hit the unload button, check the project in a corner to see if it cut ok, if not just click the "Go" button again and it will cut on the exact same lines.

[@AmyMade]

Sure! there are different ways to repeat the cut but I personally find this method the easiest/quickest. Also easy to explain

[@Gabbyy015]

Omg they are so cute! It really does look nicer with the colored shrink plastic, I might have to give this a try sometime but I’ve never used resin before so hopefully it works out 😅

[@AmyMade]

You don’t have to use resin! I mentioned you can just use the sealer spray

[@staceyf2619]

I only had clear shrink plastic and after shrinking and putting the vinyl on the front, I painted the back of it black! When I sealed with the clear spray I gave a coat to the back too. Came out great ❤

[@FoxySparkles]

WOW this is awesome thank you!

[@joymcclendon806]

I added to my list. Love it

[@dinerek5283]

What are the steps for using the stamp ink pad?

Just like any other medium, use it before shrinking

[@gigglingsociopathh2911]

Thank you so much, for your well thought out videos. I really hope you keep making them. They are very helpfully. I was trying to make the ruler method, and it kept curling and attaching to its self.

[@AmyMade]

Thank you! You can use the same technique I used in the video with the chopsticks to prevent curling and sticking!
