SHRINK ART
PolyShrink Shrink Plastic

Shrink Art
One of the challenges we face as stampers and memory artists is finding ways to create artwork that looks unique and that can be hard to do with cookie cutter embellishments. Shrink art is a great and economical way to create embellishments and jewelry that are exclusively yours. PolyShrink sheets are 8" x 10.5" and only about $0.62 each. Create numerous artistic charms, beads, buttons.

We also carry several instructional books on using PolyShrink.

 

Each package contains 8 sheets.

Shrink plastic is plastic stock that has been heated and stretched in two directions until a thin sheet is formed. When heated again the plastic returns to it's original thickness and overall dimension.

For created uses the plastic is usually sanded and design is applied using a wide variet of art supplies. Scissors are used to trim and shape. Finished designs are heated by baking or with embossing gun. Polyshrink shrinks to about 45% of the original size and about 1/16" thick. When heated, most art materials become permanently bonded to the surface and colors become darker as they are condensed.

Some applications, such as stamping with dye inks or coloring with colored pencils, may require pre-sanding the PolyShrink.
