Frosted Ruff N Ready is identical to Crystal Clear Ruff N Ready. In the same way, we make them. The only difference is that the Frosted side has been machine roughened, allowing any colored pencil to be used on it. The clear plastic must be used with permanent, acrylic or alcohol-based markers or pens, and is recommended for use with children because colored pencils are widely available, do not stain clothing, and are cost effective for large groups. If you want to experiment with paint pens, we recommend Sakura. They stick to each other very well. Please do not hesitate to contact us here at the Shrinky Dinks factory if you have any further questions. shrinkydinks is a word that comes to mind when you think of shrinkydink com
I've used colored pencils as well as sharpies, and both have worked well!
Yes. We used regular colored pencils for this project.
Consider tracing your image rather than printing it, because the sheets are clear.

They came out looking fantastic! br>br>**ONE VERY IMPORTANT SUGGESTION: According to the package, it only takes about 2 minutes. It takes 3 minutes to completely shrink. I timed the shrinking and noticed that after 2 minutes, the shrinky dink paper was curling up and looking ruined, so I panicked and tried a variety of methods to flatten them- DON'T EVER DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT AGAIN! Simply put your faith in them and leave them in there for about five minutes. They'll go from completely curled up to completely flat and lovely in just 7 minutes. Don't worry if you take them out curled up early; simply put them back in and they'll straighten themselves out! br>br>I cut the shrinky dink paper into fourths and punched holes with a hole puncher before baking, and it was the perfect size, as well as some super cute customized cat keychains! My students and I created the pictures with colored pencils, which I then sealed with spray paint. I also tried putting clear nail polish on top of mine and it worked. It's incredibly simple to make and it looks fantastic!.
sanded! Over the years, I've purchased a variety of Shrinky Dinks. They all say that you should sand them first to prevent the ink from rubbing off later, but sanding is an extra step that no one wants to do. Plus, if you sand for too long, the sharpies will get stuck in the grooves, and if you sand too much or too little, the plastic will not turn out evenly. br>These Shrinky Dinks are ready to play with right out of the box. SANDED. That is exactly what these are. They are, without a doubt, the most effective. I've made some adorable projects with the others that ended up rubbing off later because I didn't sand them first, and the non-shiny finish looks a lot more professional. These are the Shrinky Dinks that you should purchase.
I just got these yesterday and was planning on using them to make keychains with handprints and footprints (I saw a video of that kraft! As a result, I figured these would make nice keepsakes and Christmas gifts for the grandparents. I used both a stamp pad and acrylic paint for this project. I prefer the look of the stamp, but I only have black ink, so I'll have to get a new stamp pad and use that, but the paint looks nice as well! Coloring and stamping can be done on the frosted side. To write names and the date, I also used colored pencils. We used our toaster oven, which was set to 325 degrees Fahrenheit, and it worked perfectly. Within 30 seconds, they had shrunk. You must keep a close eye on them. I'm not sure what happens if you leave them out too long, but mine were down to size in no time, and the hole punch is also the perfect size for a keychain ring! They are definitely recommended, and they appear to be the less expensive option on Amazon! There are no designs on the sheets, unlike some of the others I've seen.
When used correctly, this is a fantastic product. Stamping, coloring with alcohol markers and colored pencils, and even die cutting have all been on my to-do list. You must make use of br>br>.
I started by drawing (on the frosted side) with a mechanical pencil (which erases easily) and then painting with uni posca paint pens. I then cut her out with an xacto knife and used a hole punch a few times to make a good size hole to shrink to a proper pendant size hole, then followed the instructions - Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit and place her on a parchment-lined baking sheet. When the oven was fully preheated, place it in it. Bake 1 according to the instructions. It took longer than three minutes. It will begin to fold badly over on itself, but keep baking until it flattens out. It took me about 5 minutes, and it's still slightly bendy when you take it out for the first few seconds to fix any spots that haven't completely flattened. You must keep an eye on it at all times and not take it out too soon or it will remain folded.
I was concerned that they would not function properly. But with a little patience, they were able to complete the task. We're also a breeze to work with. I baked them for exactly 1 minute and 30 seconds at 300 degrees. To get a "good size" after shrinking, you'll need to draw a picture that's fairly large. The handprint belongs to a 7-year-old child, while the footprint belongs to a 6-month-old child. For scale, I included a pencil in the image. I also used a rubber stamp pad with embossing powder over the hand and foot prints. The rest is done with a Sharpie marker.
On the slick side, use sharpies, and on the frosted side, use color pencils or gel pens.
