Shrinky Dinks

I bought a package of Shrinky Dinks today at Michael's and they are so easy to work with. I wanted to try and make charms for my son's Valentines's treats. They worked and the boys had so much fun watching them bake.
So I cut a heart out at 3" from Plantin Schoolbook and my son wrote everyone's name on them. I then put the decorated touch around the outside. In the oven at 325 for 1-3 minutes (ours took 3) and this is how they turn out! I can't wait to try something else.
I used my gypsy and had to cut the plastic out 2 times but the hole was already there because I used the charm cut.
I have already made the sour cream containers, filled them with candy hearts and now to attach the charm to the container. That is where I am now. So the completed project will be posted tomorrow.
