Shrinky Dinks

Common card · No. 307271

Shrink art (sold under brand names including Shrinky Dinks and Shrinkles) is a craft activity using thin sheets of polystyrene which shrink when heated. The sheets can be cut with standard household scissors, and after heating become about nine times thicker while their horizontal and vertical dimensions reduce to about one-third the original size, resulting in hard, flat forms which retain their initial color and shape. They reached the height of their popularity in the 1980s and are still available from retailers. They can be used for a variety of purposes like charms, pins, and zipper pulls. Most sets are pre-printed with outline images of popular children's characters or other subjects, which are then colored in before baking.
