Edit 8/8/08:
Heather Sitarzewski was researching other sealing methods.. here are her results:
Better late than never… I tried coating the shrinkies with embossing powder and I ended up with a bubbly, melted mess. So I decided to try a clear embellishing accent called “Crystal Effects” from Stampin’ Up (you can also get something called Glossy Accents from Archiver’s, Hobby Lobby etc.) it worked brilliantly!!! Although I lost the one I did that to… so I’ll have to make more! Will try to post as soon as I have the next batch completed! Thanks for all your info about the shrinkies!

I just found your blog today and I love it! All the great up-cycled projects! My favorite are the shrinky dinks… clever easy and cheap! Thank you so much for the tutorials!
Great stuff!! Why buy the shrink plastic when we are surrounded in the stuff. BTW have you ever tried to shrink a chip packet? Weird, I know, but I recall when we were kids that we used to do it – everyone had a mini chip packet on their key ring. Just wondering if it still works or if they’ve changed the plastic in the packets – perhaps I’ll have to give it a go.
Great information. I added a link to it here, http://holidaycrafting.blogspot.com/, I was talking about shrinky dinks and crafts. Awesome site you have. Love it!
Please please please post how you used this. My experiments with the sealing phase are not going so great.
Muy bonito el resultado,quedan unas piezas bellisimas.Un saludo.
