IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please ALWAYS use resin with proper precautions including wearing proper PPEs (glove, mask, respirator etc) AND working in a well ventilated space. I recommend getting a hold of the SDS (Safety Data Sheet) info that every resin company has available to the public (by law). This has all the info about the resin you are using including the precautions you need to take and first aid care. Watch my resin safety video for more info: • RESIN SAFETY | Importa...

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.

[@StarryThursday]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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

[@SD-ni5xf]

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.

[@patnichol1275]

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?

[@Muffty0805]

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

[@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!!

[@craftingwithshaneda]

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

[@hippiesister100]

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

[@drrock5356]

Sooo satisfying to watch, and also learn from. Thank you Amy!

[@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!

[@mentesymanoscreativas]

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

[@JoCFrie]

I love all your tutorials!

[@stephaniew.1460]

You have opened up so many possibilities ❤!!!!

[@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🎉

[@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!

[@sanyadsouza5650]

Love how well you explained it

[@AJaySmiles]

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

[@maryminott2593]

Omg I love this! I recently got a JOY and so excited to see all the things I can do with it

[@myday1010]

Thank you for sharing! They are so beautiful! And this video made it look so easy ❤❤❤❤❤

[@tonie1106]

This was a really cool video, I just brought some of this shrink plastic to have some arts and craft for my grandkids. Thanks for sharing.

[@cherrycordiaI]

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

[@ghostgarrison6505]

Thank you for all your videos. I'm learning so much!

[@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.

[@GlitzyGlamGirlsxo]

Great job as always. I love watching your videos.

[@PorscheAbraham]

Sooo cute! Can’t wait to try this for my business & add an nfc chip! ❣️ Thx for sharing!

[@evsprints6801]

Going to try this one out for sure. Thanks

[@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. 🙂

[@hannahl4108]

Wow! Awesome work!

These are gorgeous. Thanks a lot!

You read my mind I was just trying to decide how I want to do this same thing last night and I see your video today. Thank yooouuuuu Amy ❤Just finished watching wish I could go give an extra like. Thanks for the hack to double cutting passes I'm going to try it on my Silhouette. Thanks again. ❤

[@AmyMade]

Thank you! And what a Perfect timing! The stars were perfectly aligned lol!

[@urbangirlresin]

@@AmyMade Most definitely were I've been playing around with shrink plastic a lot the past month or so. I've watched your videos and they've been super helpful. I'm currently testing out a few other ideas to do with shrink plastic that I work out🤞🏽I'll send you pics 💗

Que hermosos se ven tecnica unica para hacer algo diferente nunca los habia visto donde se consiguen los materiales hago tambien trabajos de resina

Wow..great video!

[@ycartyahoo]

Awesome!!! TFS!!!

[@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!

[@genireves4494]

Merci beaucoup.. c'était très clair, même pour quelqu'un comme moi qui ne maîtrise pas l'anglais.

ASTOUNDING,,, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

[@cathyconey3273]

Thanks for this ❤

[@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?

[@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 ❤

[@melissazimmerman4208]

Love this! Have you tried adding a layer of glitter resin to the piece before you add the vinyl and then adding another layer of just resin over the vinyl?

[@EliBartEliBart]

Amazing!

[@wild-radio7373]

Thank you ❤

[@crystalnevels3373]

Great job! What font did you use?

[@HumbleLifeArt]

Another wonderful video!! Have you ever purchased any craft supplies from Temu?? I just placed a huge order of resin molds, metallic pigment, and shrink paper!! If you have, maybe you could make a review video!! Again, thank you so much for the helpful, inspiring videos!😊

[@sedirasanders4853]

I need that digital caliper. I tried to make keychains once without it and switched to cardstock and faux leather. When I get the caliper I will try it again

[@ARMA2ARMENIA]

Nice 👍

These turned out so good! I’ve never seen anything like this. Great job!
