[@ameliafleck2522]

My oldest son made a necklace for me in grade school from shrinky dink I still have it. He is 54 now. I would like to make some of the shrinky dinks in todays video for my Granddaughters.

[@JenniferMaker]

That is so sweet!

[@gamgamdabest8327]

I have my sons shrinky dinks bracelet that he made me. He’s only 30, but I completely understand your nostalgia! I have grandkids too and we shrinky dink often! It’s still very much a FUN memory to make! I wish you so very much joy!

[@clairebeane3455]

I’m about to make some to send to my granddaughter. We made them when I was a child as well. It is nostalgia season over here in my household. 😉

[@renaehooper9807]

Shrinky Dinks were my most favorite craft as a kid

[@JenniferMaker]

Wonderful! 💜

[@VickyButler-jv6jy]

Oh childhood memories! So glad my older children got to enjoy these when they were young too! Now for the grandbabies!

[@JenniferMaker]

Wonderful!

[@wendym.serrano3490]

We just be about the same are because i remember doing them when i was a is. Can't wait to try with my grandkids

[@sallysnay4675]

So many memories. I even have the original Shrinky Dinks oven still in the box. Old memories are great!

[@JenniferMaker]

Wow! That is so cool! 😃

[@sandymatulis2494]

I used to do these as a kid. Looking forward to making something for everyone at our family reunion camping trip next year.

[@suewright8426]

This gives me so many more ideas & it'll make great stocking stuffers too!

[@kathyearley16]

How cool! I used to do Shrinky Dinks when I was in high school 42 years ago!

[@NoYBW]

Thank you so much for the tips, especially about lightening images! I'm sure you preemptively saved me from wasting material and potentially giving up on a birthday present my heart is set on making for my daughter! So grateful for all that you share.

[@dianeteschner7769]

I’ve used my big shot to make shrinky dink jewelry in the past. Never thought of using my Cricut. Can’t wait to try it.

[@candygrubisic]

I didn't even know they made printable material. Cool. I've always loved making these and keep them around for things to do for the grand-kids.

[@kathyshorter8150]

I use to make these with my children all the time. We loved them.

[@graygamer1198]

Learning new techniques all the time with Jennifer Maker. Never would have thought to make Shrinky Dinks on the Cricut

[@leslieruiz9593]

Wow Jennifer! I just purchased a set I found at Michaels to do with my five year old having no idea this could be done using the Cricut. So cool! Love this! Thank you!

[@tessam3246]

Even if you don't want to make a shrinky dink- this video is very Design Space informative. Beautifully done - as always Jennifer.

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it was helpful!

[@colleenaben1064]

Shrinky dinks were my favorite as a kid!!!

[@nancyevans8411]

I made these years ago. Anxious to see your updated version. Thanks for sharing!

Your Doggie is so cute. I am doing the colored etched glass so excited.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you!

[@BeautifulTouches]

I never would have dreamed of making Shrinky Dinks with my Maker. Thank you so much for all the knowledge that you share!

[@darnbunny1]

Brilliant. So many hints and tips. I learned so much. I'd never created a custom material on the Cricut. Just your idea/design of the loop on top was worth watching the whole video. Thank you for another great video.

[@nancyevans8411]

Anxious to try your new shrinky dinks with the Cricut!

[@jernst777]

I think these are the cutest ideas for stocking stuffers! Thank you, Jennifer!

[@JenniferMaker]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@elizabethvallely4044]

Love to make them with my grandkids they would love them, thank you Jennifer for another great video with great tips and advice! Hugs Liz 😊

[@packet3329]

I know that etching acrylic is not recommended for the Silhouette Cameo, but I think this might work to make keychains instead

[@swingingstars11]

Love the printed picture way going to order shrink plastic

[@minadyess3075]

This is so cool! I need to do this with my grands.

[@Solacefoundandcurated]

I can’t wait to do this with my sisters. We’re 47, 46, 43 years old! We’re going to try making Marvel Characters keychains! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

[@JenniferMaker]

That's awesome!!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@lynncrosier918]

Didn't realize I could use contour on offset layer. Thanks for the info.

[@candicebaker3080]

It’s amazing to see all of the great ideas that you and your team come up with. I wish I had your brains. I keep seeing these great ideas I buy all the stuff but then I’m always so busy making things for friends and relatives that i have a hard time getting to my stuff. I am so anxious to make the Christmas bulbs. I have 4 boxes of glass bulbs. I have the etching and several colors of the wax. Anyway, I need to figure out how to work my projects in too. btw I never charge people. I feel weird abou that but material prices do really add up. Eek. Hope none of the rest of you have my problem 😝

[@laurastone4865]

These will make great stocking stuffers!

[@barbaralamont883]

Oh yes! Stocking stuffers!

[@rebeccabuchmeyer1347]

So much fun! Thank you for the info. As always, I've learned some great tips from you. I use my heat gun to shrink my plastic since I don't have to leave my craft room

[@mabb9623]

Thank you for the info about #6 plastics

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!

[@patbridges3956]

These will make for great stocking stuffers

[@kathryndoyle4204]

One of my favorite things to do when I was a kid!! This will be so much fun!

[@kathrynmorgan8301]

This will be so great with the grandkids!

[@julielundberg354]

Good evening everyone. I hope to do this project with my grandson.

[@JenniferMaker]

That will be fun!

[@terrilynkoetting3066]

SO FUN ! Can't wait to do these again.

[@mendymcgregor836]

Looks fun! Would like to see how this would work for a classroom.

[@Jennifer8Music]

Can you do this with the Cricut joy xtra? Love these videos, so informative! The worst part of the shrinky dinks is definitely cutting them out, so this would be so helpful!

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes! You can totally make these on your Joy Xtra! 😊🌻

[@dijackson5455]

Can’t wait to make with my granddaughter ❤

[@smcdaniel45]

Love these so cute! Yes they do bring back memories.

[@karlaglover9693]

So enjoying learning all these projects.

[@shakirapittman3307]

First off, this was the best step by step teaching video I’ve seen. I’ve had my cricut for a few years & gave up trying to do things with it because I couldn’t grasp the concept of how to use it. With your videos I believe I’ll be able to finally conquer my fears. Also, do you have any videos on how to create nurse or healthcare related shrinky dinks? Thanks

[@JenniferMaker]

Yay! I'm so glad you found it helpful. I don't have nurse/healthcare designs but you could use this tutorial with any images you like!🥰

[@lindahouck6269]

I never thought of shrinky dink earrings! I see my dog on my ears soon!

[@juliemanning4795]

What a wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SueKAllen]

So cute to make for young nephews and niece!

[@carrysanderson4756]

I can't wait to make some of these, thank you for the awesome, clear instructions!

[@hannahobrochta]

My mom got me a oven for my 3rd birthday and just found some on Amazon definitely worth it

[@JenniferMaker]

Awesome!

[@hannahobrochta]

I did some tonight and I found out crayola pencils work the best. I put it in the oven and my daughter said I don’t want them to shrink😂

[@CrazyCountess]

Thanks Jennifer!

[@kaylanger5559]

Thank you Jennifer for sharing your hard work!

[@JenniferMaker]

You bet!

[@FunWithEnduringArts]

Your dog is adorable 😂
