for anyone seeking to do this on a sliiightly “greener” level, type 6 plastic also does this! you need to look for the ♻️ symbol and there should be a 6 inside
and if you're using any type of pencils (colored pencils work well!), you can sand one side with some fine grit sandpaper to make it a lot easier to draw on!
THE PLASTIC ....that shrinks in your oven haha ♡♡♡♡ of course you know that now, but back in the 90s as a kid when I found out about this I thought it was magic
@@TomoyoTatar me too!! Recently my bf bought me some, but I thought it would shrink like (plastic #6) 20%. Should have read it. It shrank 80%! Now I gotta do em all over again haha
That point is very interesting - that some people are watching Pear Fleur for a long time, through her phases of art making: I have just caught - like a lot of these videos - on the RU-vid "feed"... Never heard of some of these creatives before...
I'm sure this will get lost, but I tried my hand at making these with no experience and wanted to give my tips/findings for anyone who also wants to get into this! -I may have done something wrong because the dimensional mod podge people suggested kind of sucked, it didnt dry clear and smudged my paint. I ended up investing in UV resin anyway, which honestly isn't that expensive -While Poscas are great they're EXPENSIVE....an alternative that I bought is arrtx paint markers, 24 for roughly $20, and they work great! Downside is they're a thicker nib so making smaller/detailed designs can be a little tricky -if you're having issues with your parchment paper staying flat put it in the oven for a little bit first and it'll stay flat :> -maybe it was obvious but I learned the hard way when pressing your freshly baked charm between books yes you do have to take it off the parchment paper or itll get a weird texture from it
I use mod podge too, my first two pins I messed up because I tried doming (a thick layer) right away, and it all got blurry. When doing very thin layers it doesn’t blur as much but it’s very tedious.
Beautifully done. Let me know if you get any reports of the resin peeling off. Way back when I used regular resin on shrink plastic colored with colored pencils and such, it peeled off! I’m not sure if it would be any different with UV resin and POSCA pens, and I’d be curious to try again. x
Ah so nice to hear from you!! I watched your recent charm update video - how nostalgic! Glad you're back. Thanks for letting me know about that, had no idea that could be a possibility. I'll update the comments section if that starts happening!
PearFleur Aw thank you for watching it!! It’s good to be back, I’ve had a lot of breaks from RU-vid ever since starting college and graduating/working full time. Quarantine let me get back into my hobbies. I’ve been a constant, quiet supporter of your channel and have really enjoyed seeing more of your art ✨ do keep the comments updated then! I might do some experiments with shrink plastic too.
Hey there! I make shrinky dink charms and coat them in epoxy resin. So far, I’ve seen no problem with it peeling off as long as the coating is pretty thick! I’ve also tested clear nail polish as a coating, but unfortunately it peels off. You can see how I did it in my first studio vlog video and even though the video shows me resining charms colored with acrylic pens, I resined color pencil colored charms off camera and the resin coating stayed on :)
How long did it take for the resin to peel? I’m wondering how long I would need to wait before knowing the resin won’t peel. Also, was there friction against the charms, or would the resin start peeling away on its own?
mod podge dimensional magic does the same doming effect and it air dries ! that’s what I use for these ☺️ also, curved manicure scissors are great for the rounded parts, using big scissors is annoying and sometimes breaks the plastic
I agree with you about the big scissors. One great thing- if you have a Cricut or a Silhouette (electronic cutting machines) you can have it do the cutting for you! My shrink charms look so much better than they used to!
I love these keychains! I’ve never thought of using paint markers! I’ve always done it with sharpie, color pencils, or I painted them after they shrunk! They look super nice and opaque this way so I want to give it a try. Maybe for a video you should try making a polymer clay charm but in your own style now for a little throw back lol
I used these last year in my senior year of highschool but BIG TIP i usually dont shake my poscas long enough so they get a bit streaky, when i did my charms with my posca, the paint flaked off the charm because i put so much posca paint on it, so try not to add too much posca if you add it to your charms ok guys💀
this is so super cute! being stuck at home i feel pretty listless, but this looks so nice and fun! def getting very inspired to try this out myself even though i haven't used shrink plastic like this in year 🤩
Ihwa what the hell these are so cute 😭 the individual charms look like jewels you would find in a treasure chest under a lake or something. They’re so beautiful
i’m surprised you haven’t made a skillshare class! i would love to know more indepth about your sketchbook process or watercoloring (or really anything else at all trust me i’ll watch it)
that the tattoo artist's designs are so beautiful. i've never really had any interest in tattoos, but if i could get some like theirs, id do it in a heartbeat. and you're keychain designs are so beautiful and unique as well!
These are adorable. I’ve never heard of this material, I can’t believe I never tried it before! And believe me, i understand about the inspiration being low, as I’ve been feeling that way for a while myself.
If you’re using permanent markers, DO NOT use nail polish. The ink fades to the point you can’t tell what drawing it is and it creates bubbles like those chemistry labs. Also, polish removers can be used to remove permanent marker drawings in case you mess up. I’m using mod podge but it’s not the best option. I recommend using resin, even though they are not as affordable. Hope this helps :)
my sister made a giant lin manuel miranda shrinkidink keychain... like in the middle of quarantine when she first got obsessed with hamilton and that one picture of lin’s twitter post of him biting his lip. you know what i’m tal about 😂
I was wondering if you could make some non-asmr videos I really like your art and I have been subscribed for a while but asmr videos make me physically twing it is not a problem if you dont just thought I might ask 👍
I'm so happy I found this video 😭 I'm working on a custom back pack for my husband, and I wanted to make customize zipper tabs and I was having such a hard time trying to figure how to do it. Thank you!!
Ok... so... I just found your channel last night because I needed something tor else me before bed! I watched your mixing paint video and oh my god. Amazing and the asmr and ur voice is just amazing!!! You are such a great artist!!!
me (the bisexual gal that i am): OOOO~ shrink plastic earrings!! haha on another note, this looks so relaxing and i would want to do this in the future myself! they looks so cute :))
Oh gawd I got so much goosebumps DX but I stayed because I really liked the keychains. Made it through the video with all my hairs prickling especially when you were drawing on the shrink plastic with the markers HAHA 😅
At around the 11:00 minute mark the background music shifts and I suddenly thought someone was trying to kick in the back door of my house or something. Scared the poop right outta me.
These are so cute! I love how soothing your videos are. I'll definitively try it out in the future. 💕 And it's super cool I'm a birthday twin with one of your friends. 🥰
hii i have white shrink plastic, can you make a video on designs that will look good on white shrink plastic, i love the designs in this video a lot but i’m not sure if they’ll look good with a white background.
I love this!! This just got recommended to me and so I just remembered I still have one pack of shrink paper XD I’ll definitely try your idea out when I get a uv resin 👌🏼
Super cute! Wondering if you have a Cricut machine? I’ve made some things with shrink plastic and what I do is cut all the shapes out on my Cricut and then do my coloring. The Cricut cuts shrink plastic perfectly and eliminates the need for scissors all together. It even does the holes if you choose or make shapes with the hole already in it. I have a Maker but all the Cricut machines should work fine for certain types of shrink plastic.
I have a Cricut Maker too, but I’ve been having trouble cutting the shrink plastic sheets because they’re very tough. I use the same type of shrink plastic as in the video, and I often have to run the machine 5-8 times to get through the other side of the plastic (the cuts sometimes miss the previous cuts and it’s just a mess). What setting (I really wish they had shrink plastic as an option on the Cricut software) and blade do you use? I’d love if you could share any tips :) thank you!
Alissa Liu Hi! I use the fine point blade, the ACETATE setting for materials, and MORE PRESSURE. Unfortunately the Cricut doesn’t cut the clear sheets very well but I’ve had success with the matte. It does take 3-5 times to cut through sometimes. Here’s where I learned the process and settings. Once you get it going, it’s so much fun! Good luck! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-PpjZU6D6HdE.html EDIT: I agree they need to have a SHRINK PLASTIC setting! Would take a lot of the guesswork out of it!
