[@StarlightPrism]

I didn't know you had a UA-cam channel! You have a nice voice.

[@huxdroid]

This is so awesome! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us! I was one of the people that asked you about your shrink plastic charms and I am so excited to see this video in my feed. I would absolutely love a tutorial on how you glaze your charms! You're the best!

I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@LolaClark86]

They did testing on brands of resin and how fast they yellowed. Envirotex( one being used in video) was of 3 resins that's yellowed tje fastest in direct sunlight. All epoxy will yellow over time but just wanted to throw that out there. Great video

[@cocorodrigueztattoos4969]

what size was the drawing before putting in the oven! and what size did it come out to be?

[@10418]

Almost 50% bigger.

[@alyssarosetristan1632]

Amazing tutorial!!!!!!!! Love your products

[@JumjumKitsune]

I've used Frosted shrink Plastic, but my work is always very see through at the end. So i cant use them as a Pin .Yours look way more white at the end and not see through. Is it because of the Plastic? or because of the Pencils? My always look very sketchy

[@gabigirl80]

Beautiful work!

[@mikkdimperio224]

😊😊😊

[@moonlight_the2nd]

Hey I have plastic but I don't think I have the same plastic. How can I replace it?

[@huxdroid]

Oh and where do you get your chain and clasps? What size of chain do you use?

[@koholakai]

+halowolf I use some metal chain from JoAnn's or Michaels (I'm not sure the size, but its the smallest link size they carry). I also order sterling silver and silver plated for from Beadaholique on Amazon. :)

[@bigbooshfan]

Hi! I was just wondering, can you use Copic markers or sharpies to colour it? Thanks!

[@koholakai]

I don't think copic markers are safe to use- I've only used sharpies and colored pencil.

[@bigbooshfan]

+kohola-kai ok, thanks for letting me know! I managed to find some sharpies, so it's all good

[@xotani]

Pre heat for how much time and keep in for how much time??

[@nabihun21]

Tanishka Purwat she said 325 farenheit & keep for 2-3 mins..

[@noname-ni3dj]

[@nanabilajwa1]

syahirah zawawi I tried and it doesn't work :(

[@dominique2o06]

syahirah zawawi I saw a girl do it with sushi take home container search it

[@jessjms1181]

I think it's gotta be number 6 plastic

[@nullavitasinemusica1]

this helped me a lot
thx

[@imalice6806]

why do my my.colored pencils always smudge when putting the mod podge? what is yoir technique? 😭😭😭 i always break my pieces

[@icecreamyummycookie]

I coloured my shrinkies with colour pencils and Im having a problem with my Shrinkie's colour running or bleeding when glazing it with resin or varnish it with acrylic varnish, does anyone have any good suggestion to prevent the colour from bleeding/smudge?

[@huxdroid]

I've made the mistake of using resin that was made for casting and the doming never fully cured and was tacky, I'll definitely by getting some envirotex lite

[@koholakai]

+halowolf I've made the same mistake! The first time I used resin on charms I used Easy Cast and it was a huge mess. I didn't realize casting resin is built to spread. XD
Envirotex Lite tends to stay in place pretty well once you apply it. :)

[@nomankhan9817]

I want to know how to glaze charms

[@leaighlah]

whats your esty shop link???

[@vonnietang]

have you ever used embossing powder to make it shiny instead of resin?

[@koholakai]

I have not personally used embossing powder, but I have heard from other shrink plastic artists that it can turn yellow over time. :/

[@kirankhan7341]

Hi there, great tutorial! do you coat both sides of the charm with resin?

[@koholakai]

Thank you! I only coat the front side with resin, the back is coated with a fixative (I use mod podge).

[@erynemotional]

+kohola-kai +kohola-kai I also make shrink plastic charms and I coat both sides of the charm with resin even after coating the one side with mod podge, it makes the charms more durable and looks pretty.

[@user-ym9br1wo4h]

gdzie kupić taką folię shrinky dinks?

[@toes3286]

Mine keep coming out warped

[@SkyeMarrrie]

Hi there! i love your tutorial! would this work with brooches though?

[@koholakai]

+Hershey Marie Thank you! :D
And yes, you can make brooches with this method. I use it all the time- just omit the hole punching part and once its finished, I hot glue a bar pin on the back.

[@SkyeMarrrie]

Awesome! thank you!!

[@pinkprincess9096]

Shrinky Dinks is the brand of shrink plastic and Envirotex Lite is the name of the resin :)

[@fpt3113]
