My family and I are so grateful that I get to do this.
I had an idea for how to know how much these shrink. If you mark one like a ruler with millimeters then shrink it you can use it to measure what size the full size piece needs to be to shrink down to fit in a project.
Timothy, this is an EXCELLENT idea! I'm pinning so others can see it. Thank you!
And it's good to make both horizontal and vertical markings, since shrinking isn't necessarily even in both directions.
Here's a video showing how this may be done:

and can it be printed on with like an inkjet printer...
@@imperialpresence1173 : They make a version that accepts ink and can be fed through an inkJet printer. I should have mentioned that. :)
@@-_._._- OH SNAP! :)
The "posca-bilities are endless" is a solid joke. Thanks for the laugh!
Oh mercy
😂😂
Every single one of your videos feels like such a treasure!
Love it when my wholesome faves intersect.
The quality of your videos Crafsman is on another level. No matter what its about it's always a joy to watch.
Last year, for Mother's Day, my daughter's Pre-K teacher had her class make their mom's a Shrinky Dink handprint keychain, with their name written on it and the year. I have it on my keys. I think she used acrylic paint, had the kids dip their hand in the paint, place it on the Shrinky Dink, then she baked them. The paint has a lot of texture, but won't come off. I love it so much!
That was a cool idea! Way better than the macaroni cards we made when I was a kid. Lol!
What a great idea !!!!
Wow, that is really, really great. Thanks for posting that.
My 6 year old loves Zelda and I have the Hyrule Historia, I think we're going to have a tracing party this weekend. Thanks for the idea.
That’s some A+ parenting right there, now.
That is gonna be fun!
Ooh I've been saving clear plastic and have an old toaster oven. Going to make custom charms for Christmas presents. Wonderful helpful hints. Thanks!
Just make sure it's #6 plastic, as all of the other clear plastics, which are more common, don't have this property.
@@thewiseturtle yes! If it isn't I can use for dollhouse windows or window greeting cards.
Easily the most wholesome thing seen on-line in weeks. Got a whole lot of animation stills that could use this treatment.

STEADY SHRINKIN! From one hand pup to another- you are great, baby!
I could watch Crafsman dance for hours.
Crafsman! You gave me an excellent idea on how to craft my own game accessories such as tokens or markers! Especially from those collectible card games that normally come with flimsy punch card tokens. Thank you so much!
Dude. Thanks for posting this! I wouldn't have thought of that, but it's brilliant. Maybe it's time to try and get my 10yo to make some sweet custom Magic counters...
When my husband and I first got married, I made up our own currency called "honey money". I drew bees and other cute things on circles of shrink plastic, and told my husband that we could use them to trade favors. I think I only used them a couple of times, but it was cute, at least, as a fun idea to get us to think about currencies and our relationship.
This is the best thing I've seen in months. I think I may use this to upgrade board game components. A new hobby to be sure. at work I have an oven and nacho trays. and I carry posca markers in my bag every day.
This is a great idea!! I am all of a sudden thinking of making "minis" for an RPG, but just super easily! Thanks!!
I just did the math on this and it appears you have a great recipe for making something similar to Shrinky Dinks™️!!
Thank you for going back to some general craftin! The family loves these best.
The real-time activation of those pens with the little bobbing nib brought back memories!
Also colouring in on the non line side is genius, signed another messy artist
"The Poskabilities are endless"
Crafsman, I absolutely love puns. Don't ever stop.
I opened up my craft shop because of you!!! I enjoy your videos. plz never stop. u r amazing
There are shrink plastics that you can print on with an inkjet printer. The colors seem weak until they shrink, then the intensity is amazing!
Since they shrink consistently, I used them to make game pieces. They are excellent for making toy pieces like tail lights for GI Joe cars or winders with tiny people in them for miniature buildings.
Oh Crafsman, I love everything about this video, the beautiful humor, the feeling, the technical info, the beautiful DOF with your camera and your wonderful/fun drawings. This was as sweet and cool as a nice drink of water. Thank you.
Man, this reminds me of when my brother and I used to put chip packets in the oven as a kid - they shrunk like mad. This seems a little more interesting than shrinking a packet of Twisties though. :P
I especially love the domed pieces, the resin really gives them a sweet shine!
we used to do that as kids too, here in the UK it was a big thing
That coloring technique is so smart! Definitely what I'll be doing from now on, also, I loved how you in cased the pin back in resin, I've never seen that before!
I really like all things small, which makes me wonder why I never had these as a kid, heck I never even heard of them before! Thanks for the cool video, and I like the new island film setup :)
How could you not love the craftsman
My Girlfriend and I just started watching your videos a few weeks ago and we love them! We say your voice is as soothing as Bob Ross. We love watching and learning how to craft.
Craftman..... I love you. Spilling markers, pulling away the plastic unnecessarily, being free and having fun. I really do love you! Omg those blue love birds are SOOOOOO CUTE! You're a good artist Craftman.
I once made a dog tag for my beloved pooch that passed away some years ago using "Shrinky Dink" and that was eventually replace with one of those vending machine tags found at your local pet shop.
Thanks for sharing the knowledge with us TheCrafsMan and keep on SteadyCraftin
That's a brilliant idea! 💡
CrafsMan, I have just discovered your channel and first off, I just love your voice (yes, even the whispery parts) and your manner of speaking because they make me feel very calm and safe. Second, as someone who worked for ten years at a national fabric and craft chain, I really appreciate your dedication to safety and the way you obviously read and follow package directions on craft supplies. Last, the sheer variety of crafts you demonstrate is so impressive! Your channel is an amazing resource and I've already gotten my husband and a friend to subscribe. I'm having a wonderful time exploring your video library.
Thank you Crafsman. I will most likely never use this, but it is still entertaining, and your positive attitude is a beacon right now.
New island looks great. DOF for the win 😍
I never thought about putting the black "outline" on one side and color the other- another BRILLIANT tip from the CraftsMan.
Congratulations on the great new island work bench! It is going to make your filming sooooo much easier, and is going to give us (your faithful followers) a much better view of what you are doing. I'm excited!
There was no moment of this video that was not FREAKIN ADORABLE!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
Happy Monday to the Crafsnation!!
I really loved this... something I can do with the kids.
I love the combination of the shrink plastic and UV resin! Gives me something to make with my shrinky dink plastic that doesn't feel like something I could easily ruin
Are alcohol markers useful for similar purposes as alcohol dyes? That might be useful for something I've been trying to do.
I'm not positive, but a lot of people dip permanent markers into alcohol to make alcohol ink.
Great seeing you here. I'm gathering items to recreate your HHO generator.
I use alcohol based dye stains to tint shellac or use parallel to shellac finishes. Alcohol tends to be a great carrier for color because of its quick evaporation.
Is it true that it might fade over time?
A lot of quality alc. markers will be sold as "dye-based markers". Basically a bunch of pigments suspended in alc. with a felt tip for application. So to answer your question, yes. However, depending on what you're try'na do, you might be better of buying you some marker refill (Graffiti brands are usually the cheapest AND high quality). It'll pro'lly be cheaper than buying the fancy shmancy stuff you'd find in the painting supply/hardware store.
If you're really interested in experimenting with this topic, a lot of graffiti writers used to make their own inks by collecting old, dried out markers and soaking 'em in a bottle of rubbing alc., adding in whatever fine dyes and pigments they could get their hands on. Everything from super finely ground charcoal to leather dyes from dads shoe polishing kit. I'm lucky enough to be in art school now, and will get me some dyes from the print departement and textile departement I'll add to my homemade dye-based alc. inks I put in my dried up markers.
Disclaimer: I also use a lot of old parker/staedtler/... ink refills from garage sales. These still contain a bunch of nasty solvents that can't be used no more. Think things like Solv-X (Xylene). Depending on what you's is about to use them for, this might be something to look out for. Like, it ain't good for yo' skin.
I hope this helps. Feel free to ask any questions y'all might still have, got a lot a lot of practical experience with alc. markers and inks (can't help with the chemistry side of things though...).
If y'all looking for good websites to buy alc. markers, again, give the graffiti suppliers a look. Bombingscience, spraydaily, mtnworld, ... These are good places to look. If longevity isn't an issue, get you some cheapo alc. markers from the dollar store, have also had some surprisingly good results with the cheapest of the cheap markers. After all, it's just alc. with some dye-based pigments. Ain't much you can do to F it up. Worst case the colour won't be exactly the same as on the box and it'll run dry quicker. But for pennies per marker...
@@MaybeitsmeJulia Over time, yes. But when you use them in a baking setup, the pigment will get a lot more concentrated and won't fade as quick. You could also look for "artist quality" markers or "archival" markers. Been using a lot of Farber-Castle lately. They've got an amazing array of colours and a nice small brush tip. They've got some sort of UV-proofing (that's what'll make 'em last, stop 'em from fading). I know the painter David Hockney uses them for his work.
Yay! I love shrink plastic , can’t wait to learn how to improve! Just love watching your videos no matter what
Thank you for sharing. So many reminiscences from childhood. You're the best.
My wife and I are medical gypsies I guess. This will be fun for the kids as we travel. Not a huge shop living in a fifth wheel. We can make pins for all the places we go. Great video.
My son is in kindergarten and he made me a shrinky dink keychain his is his hand print and inside says I love you and his name. ❤ I love it. Plus I just got it today for yesterday mother's day.
I can’t believe it, my favourite crafter doing my favourite craft! 😍
Love the bass from 11:10 to 11:30! Sounds really good on my system!
What an amazing project (as you mentioned) for Families!
Your videos are always so thought out and informative.
I really enjoy your sense of humour as well.
Take care and thank you🙂
That Woody quip was gold.
I knew I loved this amazing person as soon as I seen one of his videos. Stay gold craft man. This channel is super bright! Shine on!
Crafsman, your audio is blowin my mind! felt like an Imax when you rolled them colored pencils across your table
Always love a new upload from your. Your channel is always exposing me to new craft techniques. It feels like I'm collecting something useful whenever I watch your videos.
Crafsman,
I've been watching your videos for a few years now. I just thought I would mention how much I enjoy them. I don't have any interest in toys or injection molding or most of your subject matter. It doesn't matter. The value I get out of your videos is your calming demeanor. Your videos are basically therapy in today's modern world. So, I wanted to say thank you. I think you're doing a lot more good in the world than you realize. Take care
Only the Crafsman could turn something as simple as shrinks dinks into something truly amazing. Never stop craftin’ Crafsman👍🏽
I'm from Canada. I was a child in the 80s. I've never seen Shrinky Dinks in my life. I feel like I missed out.... 😥
Cool video CrafsMan!
Gotta say one of the best/most entertaining craft UA-camrs. Always solid content.
I felt so connected to crafsman using the 3 hole punch on shrinky dinks!!! I do the exact same thing ALL the time!!! Thank you for the video crafsman, so fantastic as always!!
WOW this makes me want to make my own pins!!
I had forgotten about shrinky dink! My dad taught us how to do it when my sisters and I were little and we loved it. Great memories
Loved this one CM, thx for the laughs n tips.
Yay! I got some of this plastic I've been sitting on for years. Time to finally do something with it! Also, music in this one was particularly charming. Love it!
I did this last year when my friend Lee (IceyCat25) passed away. Except I used a printer to print out a bunch of his logo. After baking and resin covering them, I added lapel pins the backs and gave them away to his family and friends.
The plastic curling in onto itself is a issue when baking. So you do have to keep an eye on it. Even with parchment paper on top. Adding UV resin on top does help, but it can be a pain when bubbles form while drying. I ended up skipping the resin due to this.
I'm now working on 3D printing Lee's logo as a key charm for his family. Once done, I'll put the STL file up for free download.
I just started using this medium last week to make magnets, pins and earrings for my daughter who teaches kindergarten. I could have used this video then.😁
You really are an all around creative wonder, thank you for sharing yourself with us. Stay safe and well.
Quicknisity ... Love it. You are bringing me back to childhood. You rock bud
Boylei hobby time gave you props for the painting plastic video you Did. Keep up the awesome work.
I could listen to Crafsman read the phone book. Don't know why he would be reading the phone book, but I could listen to it.
Because he is so soothing and peaceful which is what we need most in this world today.
I just fell in love with you. Thank you for your videos and keep them coming. God bless you. My daughters and I will be doing this today.
I just knew I was saving those containers for a reason! Thanks crafsman 😁 when my grandson comes to visit, we’ll be doing this .. he’ll be amazed for sure!!! 💯💯💯
I love your style, shop...& yup, the motorcycle too! Keep Craftin! Thanks
Love the idea of using UV resin to dome them all with, very awesome!
I *love* shrinky-dinks! They are so very satisfying! I don't love my drawing, but when it gets small it is just so charming!!
Bringing me joy and smiles when I need it most. Thank you!
I never knew how much depth you could get from coloring on front and back with these, and the resin really makes it look even more awesome. :)
I think I laughed more from your narration in this video, than all of last week. Keep crafting!
I miss shrinky dinks. I’m so glad you did this video and how you took it a step further. I can’t wait to do this. Thank you crafsman.
Hi there,
I'm new to this channel and would like to say, and forgive me if this has been said before and is a known thing, but this man is a modern day Bob Ross.
Making works of art, teaching us, and all while making me feel like I'm with a friend.
Mr. Craftman, I think I love you.
Man Shrinky Dinks were so cool.
Thank you so much Crafsman for showing me how.
Awesome teacher and student of Steady Craftin. Alright.
Nice. Cant wait to try this with my granddaughter. She loves crafsman.
My children are going to love doing this, I used to shrink old potato chip packaging in the 80s the same way, thanks crafs man 👍🏽
thanks for the basic craftin' videos, Crafsman. I'm working with school kids and it's a fine line between coming up with arts & crafs projects that are new and exciting for them but that are easy for them to succeed at, while also being within our meager budget.
That island is an excellent addition to the shop.
Love his voice so much. Super cool and chill sounding.
I have to admit I'm pretty jealous of your setup. That's my dream workroom! You've got a smart camera setup, too.
I love the music and i love the family craft aspect. ❤
Just ended a full evening of binge watching your videos...Best unique channel I've found on youtube! Texas hat tip to you Mr CrafsMan
That music is amazing, I love it!
Now this right here brought back some good memories...Thanks
Oooo, that new workbench, nice job Crafsman 😃
Crafsman, i don't want to put any more strain on yourself for the channel but, honest to God, i would watch you build work tables all day
Love the advice for the UV resin. Thanks. 😊 Also adore that you've made the one into a pin. I am obsessed.
I do remember "Shrinky Dinks" Had a lot of fun with those. Thanks for this video.
i have to say that your videos are like therapy, thanks bruh. From a fellow artist, maker, and crafter
Thank you Crafsman! I never thought of the resin thing like that right there. I’m off for some more steady craftin 💕
Crafsman! I thought this might be a nice little “do it yourself”/nostalgia vid on making Shrinky Dinks™️, but this was so much more and _soooo_ cool. Your artwork and sheer creativity are boundless, and always makes me grateful I’m a subscriber - you’re awesome!
I swear every time I need resources, information, and/or tutorials for a specific project I want to do, you're right there with a video. Thank you so much for all of your hard work educating and entertaining the worldwide web.
I like the depth of field ability Crafsman.
You were right Crafsman, the poscabilities are endless.
Mam, your voice is so... Soothing. Reminds me so much of the cartoons I watched back in my childhood...
Got too crazy with the dancing…brought on the thunder!
This is the best channel on UA-cam. Thanks for all of the great stuff over the years Crafsman!
Wow... I really loved this video. I for one really like the idea of mixing in some crafts that the whole family can do. And your end products were COOL and fun! Great job.
my favorite one you made are the two birds adorable! :D love your uploads crafsman!!
I love your new film setup! It feels so professional but lively and cozy, feels wild to say but it's true!
Cool stuff. I remember burning a few in my mom's stove when I was a wee lad 😄keep up the great stuff 300 pound baseman out,❤️
My poppa said that.
Doing lines on the top side and colors on the bottom side is also how they used to do animation on cels back in the day, so I think you've got the right idea Crafsman
