It's loads of fun & super easy to use. For this little gals wings I drew a pattern then traced it on the lightly sanded shrink paper with sharpie. After that, I colored with colored pencils, baked & cleared, hit with light pearl white acrylic paint & sealed with Sculpy clear.
I bought my paper at Hobby Lobby if my memory serves me correctly. They have several different types of paper to choose from. I think you can even buy paper you can use in your printer. Haven't tried it yet.

How much bigger did you have to draw them to make them shrink down to the right size?

Wow, she turned out adorable!!! Great idea with the shrinky dinks, too... I know some people have used them for MLP Flutter wings with the same adorable results. Thanks so much for posting this!  |

I know Shrinky Dink, but it isn't sold in Europe anymore for as far as I know. It's great stuff! |

Big thanks everyone. I really appreciate the feedback.
ravenqueen I usually try to draw the wings at least 50% bigger than I want the finished product. These were a tiny bit bigger than I planned, but I think they still worked pretty well.
