I was getting into this because I used regular 6 plastic and they came out well and wanted to do more. This paper I bought shrank down 80% and not the 20% the plastic I tested was. Womp. Now I have charms that I can glue to my nails haha
Came back to this video because I wanted to try playing with shrinky dinks again! I remembered you saying something about resin not sticking to the shrink plastic, which was my experience before as well, and I needed a reminder on how you fixed that issue. Thank you Amy! x
Do you need to seal it before using resin? Someone said they used Grafix inkjet shrink plastic and used resin directly onto it, but can you use UV resin and not coat it as well?
I have watched some shrinking plastic and resin diy videos for quite a while but it wasn’t until I found your channel that I became obsessed. I NEED to make lots of pins and charms to decorate absolutely everything I own. Thank you so much for the clear explanations and tips!! I really hope to see more form you.
I find your tutorials really helpful. I’m interested in the most reliable way of attaching a brooch pin to the back of a resin brooch, if I were to make it out of shrink plastic. X
Thank you so much for sharing your process! I just subscribed. I’m so glad you showed other products to use other than sharpies. The flakes would look gorgeous on a name keychain with a black outline. Your pins are adorable 😍. Please do more shrinky dink tutorials.
I use different mediums and i really appreciate these different video tutorials you make. They really do help me learn about different techniques i can use to get the most out of my work. Thanks to you
I love how you elevate the shrink plastic by dining it with resin. 💖 I did a lot of cool jewellery about 20 years ago, but people couldn't see past the fact that it was plastic to appreciate the Art of it. The resin really makes a difference. I used to sand my plastic and use prismacolour (not the cheaper "scholar" version -- it streaks) coloured pencils, with sharpies or pigment liners for the linework. More recently, I did some jewellery using the print on kind. It is noticeably more expensive than the basic shrink plastic, but a very cool effect.
Hi. I enjoyed your video very much. I thought your explanations were very clear, plenty of info and tips, and the end results were very professional looking. Well done.
I just started doing stuff with shrinky dinks. I love how versatile it is. I make gifts for my students and they love it. Plus their hands can’t break them
Thank you so much for making these videos about using Shrink plastic! I bought a pack years ago, but the results were awful because the instructions were not clear. However, now I've watched a few of your videos and seen your beautiful creations, I want to pick up the pack and do some fun experiments. I have lots of stickers and glittery make up to work with, I can put them to good use too.
OMG that's how u got the shiny letterings like that? They were so perfect I thought they were stickers 😱 !!! I'll have to try out that technique sometime. And thanks for the shout out 😭 It was a pleasant surprise!!!! Please make more shrink plastic videos!
Están purrrrfectos 😄 al principio pensé que eran aretes 😅. Gracias por compartir el tutorial muy creativa la idea y hermoso resultado y más para nosotros los amantes de los gatos😻
First off, Amazing videos. This was completely off my radar. I can't wait to try this. Second, what did you have the pieces sitting on when applying the resin. That looked like a neat thing to use and keep the resin from building on the bottom of the pieces.
I would love to see more designs Those came out so Cuteee ... Please make more videos you’ve inspired me to learn how to make these I have 2 girls and this would be fun for us to make #SUBSCRIBED ❤️
just a tip, instead of using your finger and the pod podge in the tub, grab yourself a can of glossy spray mod podge sealant, u can apply even thinner and there's less hassle.
thank you for the cut Tip 2:23 kink of powder is that 4:57? looks like those Iredisant flaks I bought at Hogy Lobby guess looks different on camera can't see the powder substance, or if is Liquidy.
Thank you so much for the video Amy! It's super informative. I have three questions : 1) Do you need to apply modpodge again after the last layer of black acrylic at the back, before you seal the back side with resin? 2) Is it necessary to seal the back side at all? Can I get away with not doing it? 3)Does modpodge work for colored pencils?
No need to apply modpodge at all on the side you paint if applying resin. Only seal the backside if you colored it or if you’re applying resin. And modpodge works with colored pencils
I see, Mod Podge AND resin... I am gathering information before I buy anything to start my pins attempts. This video actually popped when I searched for shrink plastic expecting to find the one I can use in a printer. Since I design better on a PC hehe.
Don't you need to seal the back of the pin which you covered in acrylic paint with mod podge prior to applying the resin? Or does the resin adhere well to the acrylic paint without mod podge? Thanks and amazing video!
Hi Amy, Can one do the project without the UV light / meaning using for example clear nail polish or other? We do not have a machine like this at home ... Thank you!
These are absolutely beautiful! Have you tried this with the top coat?? Im hoping to purchase everything for this but at my store im unsure if they carry the top coat :) Thank you!
Yes. It happens when I didn’t dry it completely. However overall, spray sealers work better but if you used sharpie, it won’t work. So if you’re going to use spray sealer, use water based permanent markers like Prockey
Can you link where you get the supplies? I’ve been looking for the pin backs and there’s so many sizes. Which ones did you use for these pins? The look perfect!
I went to purchase some mod podge in preparation for my shrink plastic crafts, but the description says it takes 4 weeks to dry. Is this true? Or do you leave it tacky before you apply the resin?
Love your videos❤ will be attempting to make my own pins ^///^. Amy i do have a question. If I wanted to color my pins with nail polish colors would that be doable?
@@AmyMade yay perfect . for that i wouldnt need to seal it with mod podge when i put the resin right? I was just going through your Beginners guide to resin ^_^ so helpful! only use mod podge for water based paints or anything water based in general and paper ?
For the mod podge part, after apply mod podge, then immediately apply resin? or have to wait mod podge completely dry first? I am trying to make this tomorrow
Hi, love your vid. I'm gonna try to make key chain from shrink plastic too. Have you ever used soft resin? I'm thinking of using soft resin for sealing. What do you suggest?
Hi Amy! I tried out some permanent markers (Sharpie and other brands) in different colors (not black) on shrink plastic sheets. However, once I apply Mod Podge (immediately after baking or hours after) with fingers or brush, the drawing would bleed and smudge my design. Do you know why?

Yay! I hope you show your shrinky creations?
I would love to see more shrinky. Some more complicated forms, colouring materials etc
Vid is awesome as always, thnx for sharing!
Anna Piemont absolutely! I may even start with the basics and tips first. Thank you!
Love to see more. I have the kind you can use in an inkjet printer.

Thank you! It’s a silicone doming mat. Unfortunately they no longer sell these anymore.
@@AmyMade Thank you! Just found some on Amazon!

Thank you so much
More shrink plastic things please, fridge magnets 🧲
I would love to see more 💕 😊
Thanks for the tutorial!
just a tip, instead of using your finger and the pod podge in the tub, grab yourself a can of glossy spray mod podge sealant, u can apply even thinner and there's less hassle.
Oh no no. It will make the sharpie ink bleed. It contains acetone
@@AmyMade I have it, I use it all the time and it doesn't make them bleed for me. 🤔
oh cool. Good to know. Maybe I’ll give it try when I have more than 5pieces to seal. Thanks!
thank you for the cut Tip 2:23 kink of powder is that 4:57? looks like those Iredisant flaks I bought at Hogy Lobby guess looks different on camera can't see the powder substance, or if is Liquidy.
really cool and really informative as usual

Yan Петров they make printable shrink plastics too.
@@AmyMade wow, such a fast reply. Saw it right after subscribing, just as I stumbled across another nice video of yours. Thanks Amy!
Love these too 😍😻😻😻😻😻
Do you have to apply the uv resin/ gel top coat before the 2 part resin if you aren't adding the nail pigments?
yes please !!
Amazing!!
Don't you need to seal the back of the pin which you covered in acrylic paint with mod podge prior to applying the resin? Or does the resin adhere well to the acrylic paint without mod podge? Thanks and amazing video!
cheesey12354 yes, resin adheres well to acrylic paint
I don't have modgpodge or glitter...can I make these without those things???
Great video
Que hermoso tutorial .como de llama ese pinche que le pones . Para poder comprarlo online .saludos desde Puerto Rico
Hi Amy, Can one do the project without the UV light / meaning using for example clear nail polish or other? We do not have a machine like this at home ... Thank you!
These are absolutely beautiful! Have you tried this with the top coat?? Im hoping to purchase everything for this but at my store im unsure if they carry the top coat :) Thank you!
Thank you! Topcoat? Could you be more specific, when I think of top coat I think of nail polish top coat lol!
Hi Amy, I love your videos, thanks for sharing 💖. I only have one question. How long did you cure under the UV light?
Thank you! The recommended time which is usually 1-2 minutes for uv-led resin
@@AmyMade Thanks a lot 💖💖
where did u get the nail polish??
What’s that gray tube used to glue on the pins to the back? I don’t see it in the description. Thanks!
Any strong glue will do!
I use the printer paper one, but im having trouble getting the colors right. Mine all come out super dark.
Have you had any trouble with your domes peeling with the mod Podge layer in there?
Yes. It happens when I didn’t dry it completely. However overall, spray sealers work better but if you used sharpie, it won’t work. So if you’re going to use spray sealer, use water based permanent markers like Prockey
bonjour combien en cm fait til le dessin au début avant de le cuire
How long did you let the Mod Podge dry? The bottle I have says it takes 4 weeks to dry. Your pins are lovely!
At least overnight
Thanks!
What glue do you use at 6:30
They look beautiful. Can I use water based polyurethanes instead of modpodge? And what can substitute the no wipe no coat?
Yes you can. You can use uv resin instead of no wipe top coat
Hello Amy! Love the charms :D One question, however. Does spray varnish work instead of liquid? Does the resin still adhere?
Thank you! I actually use spray varnish now so yes it works
@@AmyMade Thank you so much, does it work better?
Yes
@@AmyMade Thanks :D
Can i use mod podge gloss waterbase sealer for colored pencils?
Yes 👍🏻
@@AmyMade your video was really helpful. new sub here! thank you for replying i really appreciate it ❤
Can you link where you get the supplies? I’ve been looking for the pin backs and there’s so many sizes. Which ones did you use for these pins? The look perfect!
Everything is linked in the description box!!👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@AmyMade thank you so much for replying. I love you pins ❤️
I went to purchase some mod podge in preparation for my shrink plastic crafts, but the description says it takes 4 weeks to dry. Is this true? Or do you leave it tacky before you apply the resin?
I let it dry over night
I’ve never used that kind of Mod Podge. The bottle says it takes 4 weeks to cure! How long do you wait?
I wait overnight
Hi Amy! I hope you are doing great
You can use any decopage medium!
I would love to know more
Love your videos❤ will be attempting to make my own pins ^///^.
Amy i do have a question. If I wanted to color my pins with nail polish colors would that be doable?
Yes! It would have to be after baking though
@@AmyMade yay perfect . for that i wouldnt need to seal it with mod podge when i put the resin right? I was just going through your Beginners guide to resin ^_^ so helpful!
only use mod podge for water based paints or anything water based in general and paper ?
For the mod podge part, after apply mod podge, then immediately apply resin? or have to wait mod podge completely dry first? I am trying to make this tomorrow
Wait till it dries completely
Could you seal the sharpie with clear nail polish?
Nail polish will dissolve the sharpie
Hi, love your vid. I'm gonna try to make key chain from shrink plastic too. Have you ever used soft resin? I'm thinking of using soft resin for sealing. What do you suggest?
Yes I have used it. Probably not the best for sealing because it’s soft. I’ve shown in the video of what I like to use
@@AmyMade Thank you.
What is the the name of the mat? The one you use when you put resin on them. 😊
Doming mat👍🏻
Hi Amy! I tried out some permanent markers (Sharpie and other brands) in different colors (not black) on shrink plastic sheets. However, once I apply Mod Podge (immediately after baking or hours after) with fingers or brush, the drawing would bleed and smudge my design. Do you know why?
No idea. I’ll have to try it out myself to see. You can always try the krylon Kamar spray instead.
