Shrinking plastic foil

The plastic shrink foil measures 26.2 x 20.2 cm. One bag contains 6 pieces.

And this is how it works:

1. Draw a motif on the rough, matt side of this foil using a pencil or waterproof felt-tip pen, or stamp it with our StazOn stamp pad (item no.28383576). Then, colour the motif with coloured pencils. Note: the colours become more intense during the shrinking process.

2. Then carefully cut the motif out. You can also use motif punches, motif scissors or the rotary paper trimmer.
If you want to hang this motif later or use it as a pendant, you'll need to perforate it using hole punch pliers or paper hole punch. The hole will also shrink during the shrinking process, to almost half its original size..

3. Preheat the oven to 125°C. Place the shrink foil (caution: only under adult supervision) with the painted side facing upwards, on a baking tray covered with aluminium foil. The plastic foil will start to twist. Wait until the motif lies flat again. The motif will remain supple until it has cooled down.

4. Once the motif has shrunk completely, after about 40 seconds, you can and weigh it down briefly (with a heavy book, for example) to flatten it completely. Once hardened, the motif is much smaller (around 40%), thicker and more sturdy.
