Oh my god! I love them!!! I have a bridal shower coming up and you just gave the best idea for the favors!

Quick question, is it ok if I use wax paper instead of parchment?

Thanks,
Alex

It is all a bit hit and miss, but more experimenting is needed.

I wouldn’t recommend using the same toaster oven for food and plastics, some plastics leak toxins. Dedicate one toaster oven for your craft projects. You can probably find a cheap one from a second hand store/garage sale, etc. for this purpose.

These are awesome – Crafty Hope sent me your link. Dang it I just threw away some #6 plastic. Did you use a dedicated toaster oven or can you cook food and plastic in the same toaster?

Juliaaah,
yes, i had issues with the colored plastic too, when i tried it. If it doesn’t work after about a minute, you can pretty much give up on that particular one.

I’ve heard, but not tried, that disposable plastic drink cups work well, especially if you want to do circles out of the bottom of them.

I was very inspired by your blog, so I set out to do some of my own. I went through the whole house and found all types of type 1, type 4 and type 5 plastic but no type 6! I had to go to the supermarket to buy a packet of plastic plates (the art and craft stores I went to didn’t have shrink plastic). I cut out and drew on a few pairs of would-be earrings but after leaving them in the (preheated) oven for almost 10 minutes, they didn’t shrink! Just wrinkled a little. Maybe I need to use clear plastic? (The plates are white opaque.) I will give it another go, thanks for the tutorial!
