Did You Know There's "Printable Shrink Plastic" That Lets You Print Photos and Text Directly Without Handwriting?

Popular "Shrinky Dink" for DIY Wedding Materials

"Shrinky Dink" is a staple material for name cards, keychains, and accessories.

When you draw letters or illustrations on transparent or semi-transparent Shrinky Dinks and bake them in the oven, they shrink to about 1/4 of their original size, turning into interesting transparent plates.

They are also popular for use in wedding place cards and escort cards.

Can You Print on Shrinky Dink!?

Traditionally, letters and illustrations on Shrinky Dink have been done by hand.

So,

☑ Creating dozens of place cards,

☑ Drawing detailed pictures,

☑ Mastering calligraphy,

can be quite challenging.....

At times like these, I discovered a revolutionary item that I want to introduce:

"Printable Shrinky Dink," which allows you to print directly on Shrinky Dink!

Since you can print on the Shrinky Dink sheets with a regular household inkjet printer, as long as you have the design data, you can create any design freely.

You can even print photos, so you can make keychains featuring "your own photos..."
