But make sure when you get the paper that is specifically says it can be used in inkjet printers. The first paper I bought couldn&#39;t be inkjetted, so instead I made some goofy charms with Sharpie markers.<br /><br />Oh and after the initial shrinking and pre-glueing I sprayed them with a matte coating.Mel Got Servedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00373080699656141221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716225348399640437.post-83207952783310144092010-03-17T09:39:48.240-04:002010-03-17T09:39:48.240-04:00Wow that looks really great! I have been thinking about making a SD tag for my dog, Piper, but never got around to it. Your photos have inspired me!<br /><br />Shrinky dinks are definately still around. I have an etsy shop where I sell accessories made out of shriny dinks. You guys are right though, they never come out quite perfect. Click my name and check it out if you want. Thanks again Mel. Your LOST tag is so cool. :-)Gretchenhttp://www.dubsaccessories.etsy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716225348399640437.post-809233573769432802010-03-16T21:32:05.324-04:002010-03-16T21:32:05.324-04:00These look amazing! And reading about Shrinky Dinks really takes me back. Glad to hear they&#39;re still around so I can share them with my daughter when she&#39;s old enough.Lukehttp://bookfool.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716225348399640437.post-37800635214366578282010-03-09T12:58:09.486-05:002010-03-09T12:58:09.486-05:00Mine are both a little off too. Make sure when you bake the Shrinky Dinks they go all the way flat, but either way it&#39;s hard to make them match up perfectly. I just put them together and align them whichever way looks best (so usually I align them on the top). Send in a pic when you&#39;re done!Mel Got Servedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00373080699656141221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716225348399640437.post-58234482049524053052010-03-09T12:56:24.988-05:002010-03-09T12:56:24.988-05:00My shrinky dinks don&#39;t flatten out completely, so I&#39;m left with two octagons that don&#39;t quite fit together (but other than that, they came out great). I think I&#39;ll have to make do with two separate tags. All that&#39;s left is to get more key chain rings :) Thanks again!<br /><br /><br />- Estherdarkhairhermyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06316362238542852425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716225348399640437.post-30334081225319699632010-03-08T13:02:47.377-05:002010-03-08T13:02:47.377-05:00Esther, when you make the tag, try making the hole a little bigger. My first one broke but I think it&#39;s because the hole was took tight on the little carabiner I have. In the one I&#39;m finishing up now, I made the hole a little bigger and bought tiny key chain rings from the craft store.Mel Got Servedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00373080699656141221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7716225348399640437.post-9228737967138327582010-03-08T12:54:56.099-05:002010-03-08T12:54:56.099-05:00Hi!<br />I love this idea, so I&#39;m making a Dharma dog tag of my own for my chihuahua =)<br /><br />- Estherdarkhairhermyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06316362238542852425noreply@blogger.com
