[@ashwinichaukade8433]

Thx for sharing nice video.... But music is so annoying

[@Kraftgali]

Thank you for your feedback, my choice in music didn't come up so good. :)

[@vanessamichaels9512]

I really appreciate you sharing this. I am a little taken aback by the cost you have incurred to make a small plastic flower, though!

[@janellekm]

Thak you for a very clear video demo. 😊

[@ruthmills2292]

Thank you my friend!

Very talented and wonderful teaching skills, new forever subscriber, I was wondering what kind of glue do you use to assemble with, never mind I noticed it in the captions list? Didn't even notice the broken petal, beautiful and amazing work👏

Awesome! You are so talented!

[@Kraftgali]

Thank you so much!

How to make a perfect larger-sized flower petals compared to the smaller ones, when you're heating them?

[@sallymalec2685]

What is the shrinkage percentage? What was the size of the flower before melting and then after melting?

[@cindiy5181]

Hi, Your flower creation is so beautiful! Do you know if Shrinky Dink Plastic is the same as Shrink Prink? I am new to this type of craft and really enjoyed watching your video. Hoping you decide to make more videos similar to this one! I really enjoyed :)

[@Kraftgali]

I haven't used Shrink Prink yet, but what I can tell from reading online reviews and watching tutorials is that they serve the same purpose and either could be used. Thank you, I struggle to find new ideas but would keep trying to come up with new videos! x

How much heat for the shrinking plastic flowers by each?

1:35 Where to find Die-cutting machine (Gemini)?

[@cindiy5181]

I see that you used the Gemini Jr die cutter in this video....what are your thoughts about the Gemini Jr.? I am debating between purchasing this die cutting machine or the adjustable Bira. The reviews note that the plates will warp frequently with Gemini and to plan on replacing them frequently. I also read that if you rotate the plates with each use they will last longer. Have you had to replace your plates yet and if so how many uses before you had to? Would you recommend the Gemini Jr. or any other die cutter? thanks :)

[@Kraftgali]

Hi CinDIY, I love Gemini, especially for the intricate dies. I have been using the plates for around 4 months now. It is difficult to estimate how many uses before they need replacement as it depends on the kind of paper and dies you are cutting with. However I would mention they last for atleast six months before needing a replacement if you are not putting them to excessive use. I have not used the Bira machine, so couldn't say about it. Yes, I would definitely recommend the Gemini Jr. But for someone on a tight budget I would also suggest looking into a big shot machine, as the plates for a manual machine last way longer, While you are required to replace warped plates for an electric machine, warped plates in a manual machine would go ahead with no issues - and the plate costs do add up over time.

[@cindiy5181]

@@Kraftgali thank you for the great tips! it is very helpful to know and glad you mentioned about the manual machine having an increased ability to use plates even if warped.. that can be quite helpful! thanks again:)

[@SuperKaleido]

@@Kraftgali I just came upon this beautiful craft tutorial of yours. I have the Gemini, and wondered what your sandwich looked like, i.e., what order were your plates? I want to try this craft, and hope mine come out like yours, pretty.

[@uqerklee13]

May i ask about your heating sheet and the heating tool?

[@Kraftgali]

I just used the heat tool on an old thick magazine. :)

would be better without that annoying music. otherwise nice demo.
