THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF SHRINKLES
(also known as Shrinkie Dinks, Shrinkies, Shrinkie Dinkies, Shrinkits, Shrinkems, Shrinkers, Shrink Magic, Shrinx)

So just what is a Shrinkle?

Any picture you draw or trace on to a Shrinkles plastic sheet shrinks 7 times smaller and 7 times thicker than the original.
You'll have hours of fun making badges, key fobs, fridge magnets, figurines, mobile phone charms, pencil toppers, jewellery, scrap booking and lots, lots more.

Shrink Art is simple...here's how:

STEP 1
Colour in the designs on the pre-printed sheets or draw your own on the blank sheets.

STEP 2
Cut out your design & punch a linking hole if required

 STEP 3
Pop into a pre-heated oven for a few minutes & watch the Shrinkle shrink 7 times smaller and 7 times thicker.

STEP 4
Allow to cool then attach to one of the fun accessories.

Are you an artistic, crafty person who likes making things? Shrinkles can be used to embellish your greetings cards, bags, tags, scrap books, stationery and jewellery. You can also "rubber stamp" your favourite images with permanent inks onto the blank sheets. Simply colour, cut and shrink - so many great ideas and so much fun!

SHRINKLE FAQ

The quality of Wizard Shrinkles is always excellent and every SHRINKLE will shrink perfectly. However, performance in shrinking does vary, depending on a number of factors, so you have to be careful when you shrink them. May we ask you to bear in mind the following hints, which will give you 100% success.

OVENS Ovens vary a lot, so it is very difficult to give a precise temperature. 350°F/ 175ºC (Gas Mark 3) is a guide - you may need to go a little higher.
You can use a gas, electric or fan assisted oven, but not a microwave.
THERMOSTATS Thermostats also vary. In addition, your thermostat will be continually turning the heat ON and OFF. Consequently, the heat is always RISING or FALLING. It is not actually constant. This is why you may sometimes experience two different results when shrinking one SHRINKLE after another.
PRE-HEATING It is vital to fully pre-heat the oven and baking tray. If not, this may cause excessive curling and bonding.
CUTTING Do not cut intricate shapes or long narrow pieces, as they are likely to break.
HOLES A standard hole-punch will position a 5mm hole, 7mm from the edge of the plastic. Do not position the hole any closer to the edge as the SHRINKLE could break when you clip a key chain or other attachment on.
TIMING It is impossible to be precise about the length of time that you leave the SHRINKLE in the oven. This will always vary due to the difference in ovens and thermostats as previously mentioned.
REMOVAL FROM OVEN Not until the SHRINKLE is laying flat. If it has an overall slight curve on it, it may well be ready, but it certainly isn’t ready if it is at all "curly" or has a hint of a "bubble" in the middle, or the edges are turned up etc.
The vital thing is that it MUST BE PLIABLE albeit for only a few seconds. When you place it under a table mat or book, it is simply to hold it flat whilst it sets. 
YOU MUST NEVER PRESS IT FLAT! If it is not pliable and you do press it, it will crack.
If you discover that it is not pliable as you place it on a work surface, then simply re-heat it in the oven until it is.
OVEN TOO COOL  The SHRINKLE will either not shrink, or won't go flat and certainly won't be pliable, and may have bubbles.
OVEN TOO HOT  The SHRINKLE will curl excessively and bond to itself. ADULTS, if you're quick to spot this happening in the oven, you can pull the bonded SHRINKLE apart WHILST IT IS PLIABLE, but remember, you'll only have a few seconds and IT IS VERY HOT, so please be careful.
FINISHED SHRINKLE If you are not happy perhaps because your SHRINKLE is curved or has a bubble, remember you can always re-heat it, but it will take longer the second time.
SMUDGING Smudging will occur if you a) colour too heavily b) use soft or waxy pencils - please note "Willies Shrinkles" pencils give the best results, c) lean on the areas you have already coloured. 
It is therefore best to start at the top of the Shrinkle & work downwards when you are colouring, so that your hand does not rest on the colouring you have done. Alternatively, you could rest your hand on a piece of paper which you place on top of your partially coloured Shrinkle.
