Step-by-Step Instructions
- Choose Your Design
- Find or create a design you’d like on your ring dish. This could be a photo, a hand-drawn image, or a pre-made template.
- Print Your Design
- Use the printable shrink plastic and print your design onto it. For hand-drawn styles, draw directly onto the paper.
- Cut Out Your Design
- Carefully cut around the printed or drawn design.
- Bake the Plastic
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (or per Shrinky Dink instructions). Place the cut design on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 2-3 minutes. Watch as it shrinks and curls before flattening out.
- Shape the Dish
- While hot, quickly transfer the plastic to a small bowl. Use your hands (wearing oven mitts) to press it into a dish shape. Adjust the edges if desired. Reheat and reshape if necessary.
- Decorate Your Dish
- Use a metallic paint pen to add accents like gold edges, splatters, or even a monogram for a luxe finish.
These dishes are not only quick to make (around 15 minutes) but also make lovely, personalized gifts that look far more high-end than their inexpensive materials suggest.
