ZOMG Shrinky Dinks are awesome

Holy crap these things actually work! (I'm more excited about this than I should be...)

For those who were keeping up, I'm attempting to make keychains of chibified versions of characters from Odin Sphere and one other game (to be revealed later...) for Otakon 07'. Shown above is a test bake with Velvet.

I got the idea to try Shrinky Dinks from the sultry . Basically they are sheets of plastic that become smaller and 9 times thicker when you bake them in the oven. While they are "very" sturdy afterwards, I read somewhere that baking them a second time with a thin layer of embossing powder gives them a slick protective finish. And it does!!

It feels good to live in a century where crap like this exists
