This is the gratix clear. Although the end effect looks very frosted.
I had to order my sheets off the Internet >_>'
I just ordered the gratix white so lets see how those turn out.
And I drew those chibis specifically to make charms XD
So they had to be cute enough for me to want them on a phone strap! Success XD
haha when i saw all your chibis i was thinking 'these would make great charms...'
did you use the frosted or clear sheets? or is the graphix inkjet paper not as white as shrinky dink?
; _; jealous though that they only shrink half as much! shrinky dink paper shrinks to a third (or less!) of the printed size so it uses more paper and thus is more expensive in the long run. but i haven't found any of the graphix shrink film at my craft stores, only the sticker and shirt transfer kind. 8((((
Yeah, the clear ones are what I'd like to get. Would you want to do some kind of chibi art-trade sometime? (like the simple chibis you did here) You can PM me if you want, but if not, then that's ok. I haven't done an art-trade in a while.
Yeah gratis inkjet worked really well. And had a somewhat frosted look at the end. Although not sure if it was because I accidentally got the clear one.....
XD it's impossible to sell since our postal system is so expensive, it ain't worth it.
You can find the papers online at ebay, amazon
There's inkjet and normal. Inkjet is easier to use obviously but u can print on normal if you increase the brightness by 80% so that its so light you almost don't see it on screen and then then avoid touching the ink until after u cook it...when u shrink it the colour intensifies and it actually looks decent but sometimes u may get lines where u don't want from the printer smearing.....so if u want to save heartache go inkjet. If u want to go cheap and don't worry about some possible lines go normal
They are amazing! *u* I really like the Zelda themed ones. Gosh I want them <3 you could make more and sell them! I've got some shrinky-paper somewhere, but the last time I used it it folded and got this weird dimple in the middle...
you should try it! it'll be easier for u to prob get shrinky paper than it is for me >3<!
yes - temis key chains was wat inspired me to create uber cute chibis!!!
i was so sad when i realized i had nothing in my gallery that i wanted on a keychain. heh. so then came the super short chibis~
and phone straps i can dangle anywhere *_*!
my bags,phone,door XD
any excuse to make more really
yeah i used split rings that look like mini keyrings to join the charms and bells etc so there's less chance of them falling off <--has bad luck with losing small things too >_>'
was fun to make though =]

@Capsicle:
If u get the inkjet one it dries pretty much straight away like normal paper
If u try and print on normal shrink film then it will most likely smear

I put mine on a layer of baking paper so it didn't stick! And I took them out pretty quickly after they looked like they were flat

Maybe u took out the paper too quickly before it finish shrinking? It does warp a lot in the oven as it shrinks....

They're really cute. I've wanted to try shrinky-dinks, but Grafix is a nice brand, so I may look into that.
