[@melissataylor5494]

Wow that was great

[@gaelicwolf]

I just bought a bunch of shrink plastic with the intent of doing black and white designs on them, but this is brilliant. I have a small Gelli plate gathering dust on my shelf, I might have to try this.

[@LucyBrydonArt]

The Painting Potato yes do!

[@carolrigby186]

Love these!

Carol Rigby thank you!

[@maebe1000]

Thanks for sharing Lucy .Great that so many crafters love teaching others.💑

[@LucyBrydonArt]

Thanks mae!

[@pamp71167]

What multi-hole punch did you use? I have never seen one like that red one!

[@pamp71167]

Also... A brush on sealer will keep ink, paint, or any colorant used from rubbing off... which it WILL with the least amount of abrasion, like wearing earrings or having something move back and forth on a keychain... Just a hint!

[@lindahodge8608]

would you mind suggesting a sealer? thank you…

[@murielledavid8850]

Wow! Wonderful

[@LucyBrydonArt]

thanks for watching!

[@allisonchavez9113]

Perfect! We're you allowing the sheets to dry in-between each new Gel design?

[@mindy7819]

Great idea! Makes some interesting pieces.

[@LucyBrydonArt]

Nancy H you can get them on amazon or if you are in the USA direct from gelli arts website

[@1tinac]

Fun and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@LucyBrydonArt]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@judigullett9060]

I love all the layers you use. I can't remember do you use the shiny side or the back to print on? tfs

[@LucyBrydonArt]

I print on the non shiny side

[@doloresraml6539]

Very neat, do you put anything on them to hold the paint after you shrink them?

[@syouwie]

Hallo! Ein ganz tolles Video! Ich habe es heute sofort probiert. Hast du Resin zum Schluss drüber gegeben? Meine glänzen nicht, sind ganz stumpf, aber die Muster sind klasse geworden

[@phenomenal_woman]

You can do this with all shrink plastic right? I happen to have some inkjet on hand, because I use to make my earrings out of it.

[@evypetre949]

I have to try this. Hugs ❤️❤️❤️

[@LucyBrydonArt]

hope you had fun with it!

[@marymarcum8825]

I love this! Great video! What brand of shrink plastic sheets did you use? Also, how did you get them so thick?

[@APGJamie]

I see you didn't get an answer, I can't say what brand she used, but when shrink plastic shrinks, it gets thick. which is why you want to punch the hole in it first. xo

[@anasia-qq5iy]

Also if you would like to try before buying a whole pack, you can use plastic #6(the number in the triangle). (Look arround your house, ex: sushi takeout boxes, croissant boxes etc)

[@melodyengland4439]

Wow thanks for sharing this very creative fun project, i'm excited to try this, so what size do you cut the shrink plastic in, i'm guessing about 7"X 5" & are those see-thru square plates, that you do your work on both glass or is the smaller one made of plastic or does it really matter, what i use for this area, please would someone respond, thanks a bunch.

[@pamelasertich9850]

Are you talking about the plate the gelli plate is on? I'm pretty sure it is an acrylic one but it does not matter. Any acrylic paint will work.

[@melodyengland4439]

@@pamelasertich9850 Oh, ok, thanks for the reply.

[@Janjeffs0000]

Would this work on polymer clay and yupo paper

[@delphylu2]

Hi. Great video. What shrink wrap are you using as I bought some that simply slides across the Gelli plate.

[@delphylu2]

And I can’t find any that allows acrylic paint?

[@debbie54ism]

@@delphylu2 I know you weren't asking me, but you would use Shrinky dink plastic paper, not shrink wrap. You can find it in craft stores or online. I love making shrinky dinks. You can buy it in colors or in clear. Plus you can use markers, colored pencils, paint, all sorts of cool ways to color it.

[@debbie54ism]

Also you can stamp on it with a permanent ink such as Stazon.

[@phillippaphillips1580]

In love thanks

[@LucyBrydonArt]

Phillippa Phillips thanks!

[@zibakhan9867]

Hi so when they dried the paint didn’t peel off? I’m a newby to Shrinkles and I painted them 😳.... oh the stress and time wasted 😬

[@LucyBrydonArt]

no the paint didnt peel off doing it this way!

[@cerealnana]

Did you seal with anything? These are fantastic! I've been playing with shrink plastic and alcohol ink, but now I've been inspired to get out my Gelli plate!

[@LucyBrydonArt]

cerealnana I didn’t, cause they were just wee examples, but yeah I reckon putting a layer of varnish on would really bring the colour out too!

[@pamelasertich9850]

@@LucyBrydonArt You can also use embossing powder on them after they shrink. reheat them and you can add layers of embossing.

[@vakhbod100]

When we have recycling plastic, how would we know if it is shrinkable? In other words, how would we know it can be used for making shrinkable jewelry?

[@LucyBrydonArt]

I just use the shrinkies that you buy especially for this type of craft

[@Topitoffable]

#5 or #6 plastic

[@sanjanas3470]

And if you don't have shrink plastic/shrinky dinks then you can just cut out the plane side of a plastic box but it should have a recycle sign with a six inside it

[@LucyBrydonArt]

oh yes good tip!

[@myday1010]

Are you using acrylic paint?

[@LucyBrydonArt]

yes I am!

[@rokyochan]

Hello! is that acrylic paint? And I'd need to know how big do I have to cut the piece in order to get a 2cm piece? Thank you

[@LucyBrydonArt]

Hi yes it’s acrylic! And the shrinkie instructions say what size it shrinks down, I think it’s maybe a quarter of the size?

[@rokyochan]

@@LucyBrydonArt Thanks!

[@nancyh9125]

Where in the world do you get this Gelli plate?

[@LucyBrydonArt]

Nancy H you can get them on Amazon or direct from gelli Arts if you live in the USA

@@LucyBrydonArt thank you - are these acrylic paints?

[@LucyBrydonArt]

[@lightswift3217]

When you heat plastic/polymers they produce TOXIC gases! Is this safe?

[@louisedawnauthor6590]

I thought that acrylic paint was not heat proof and should not be applied before shrinking. 😅
