I mean, you kind of have to because you have multitudes of little plastic people and things sitting in a box because you couldn’t STOP cutting and shrinking because it was so much FUN! Am I right?

Supply list
Hover over highlighted words in blue to activate links..I’m a visual person…I like pictures of things! A full supply list for each workshop will be provided with completed registration, but I want you to know that there are a few supplies that are essential for completion of this project so that you may budget accordingly.
Grafix White INKJET Shrink Film (I do not recommend Shrinky Dinks Inkjet…I never could get it to print correctly, pieces stuck to themselves as they baked, the plastic didn’t flatten completely, and it smelled bad during baking.)
Toaster Oven (although you can shrink the plastic in your regular oven…I just like having dedicated craft appliances)
Access to an INKJET Printer (a laser printer will not work because it uses heat to set the ink and this heat might warp your shrink plastic)
Chalks or Pastels (these can be stick, Pan, or my favorite CarbOthello)
Small papier mache container
Styrofoam ball (diameter matches the diameter of the container lid)
Artificial flowers
Small Paintbrushes
Small Ceramic Tile
Spatula
