I just bought a bunch of shrink plastic with the intent of doing black and white designs on them, but this is brilliant. I have a small Gelli plate gathering dust on my shelf, I might have to try this.
Also... A brush on sealer will keep ink, paint, or any colorant used from rubbing off... which it WILL with the least amount of abrasion, like wearing earrings or having something move back and forth on a keychain... Just a hint!
Wow thanks for sharing this very creative fun project, i'm excited to try this, so what size do you cut the shrink plastic in, i'm guessing about 7"X 5" & are those see-thru square plates, that you do your work on both glass or is the smaller one made of plastic or does it really matter, what i use for this area, please would someone respond, thanks a bunch.
Hallo! Ein ganz tolles Video! Ich habe es heute sofort probiert. Hast du Resin zum Schluss drüber gegeben? Meine glänzen nicht, sind ganz stumpf, aber die Muster sind klasse geworden
I see you didn't get an answer, I can't say what brand she used, but when shrink plastic shrinks, it gets thick. which is why you want to punch the hole in it first. xo
Also if you would like to try before buying a whole pack, you can use plastic #6(the number in the triangle). (Look arround your house, ex: sushi takeout boxes, croissant boxes etc)
@@delphylu2 I know you weren't asking me, but you would use Shrinky dink plastic paper, not shrink wrap. You can find it in craft stores or online. I love making shrinky dinks. You can buy it in colors or in clear. Plus you can use markers, colored pencils, paint, all sorts of cool ways to color it.
Did you seal with anything? These are fantastic! I've been playing with shrink plastic and alcohol ink, but now I've been inspired to get out my Gelli plate!
And if you don't have shrink plastic/shrinky dinks then you can just cut out the plane side of a plastic box but it should have a recycle sign with a six inside it

What a fun idea using the gel plate for shrink plastic. You made so many cute items. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! 😊
Neat idea and so cute although I would add resin to it to give it shine
Loved watching your techniques!!
Those are AWESOME! Thanks for sharing!

Perfect! We're you allowing the sheets to dry in-between each new Gel design?
What a fabulous idea, will have to give this a go, TFS
Absolutely Love this ❤❤❤
At first I thought, to busy. But they turned out super cute! Thanks.
thank you!
AMAZING love love love it
I love this idea.
its a fun technique!
Very neat, do you put anything on them to hold the paint after you shrink them?
This is such a great process!! Thank you!
Also... A brush on sealer will keep ink, paint, or any colorant used from rubbing off... which it WILL with the least amount of abrasion, like wearing earrings or having something move back and forth on a keychain... Just a hint!
would you mind suggesting a sealer? thank you…
Wonderful idea! Tfs.
Marion Ginbey you’re welcome!

@@LucyBrydonArt Where do you purchase Gelli products?
Nancy H you can get them on amazon or if you are in the USA direct from gelli arts website

Are you talking about the plate the gelli plate is on? I'm pretty sure it is an acrylic one but it does not matter. Any acrylic paint will work.
@@pamelasertich9850 Oh, ok, thanks for the reply.
Fun and interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
What multi-hole punch did you use? I have never seen one like that red one!
Hallo! Ein ganz tolles Video! Ich habe es heute sofort probiert. Hast du Resin zum Schluss drüber gegeben? Meine glänzen nicht, sind ganz stumpf, aber die Muster sind klasse geworden
Wow! Wonderful
thanks for watching!
You can do this with all shrink plastic right? I happen to have some inkjet on hand, because I use to make my earrings out of it.
I love all the layers you use. I can't remember do you use the shiny side or the back to print on? tfs
I print on the non shiny side
I love this! Great video!
What brand of shrink plastic sheets did you use? Also, how did you get them so thick?

Carol Rigby thank you!
Thanks for sharing Lucy .Great that so many crafters love teaching others.💑
Thanks mae!
I have to try this. Hugs ❤️❤️❤️
hope you had fun with it!
Would this work on polymer clay and yupo paper
When we have recycling plastic, how would we know if it is shrinkable? In other words, how would we know it can be used for making shrinkable jewelry?
I just use the shrinkies that you buy especially for this type of craft
#5 or #6 plastic
Hi. Great video. What shrink wrap are you using as I bought some that simply slides across the Gelli plate.
And I can’t find any that allows acrylic paint?
@@delphylu2 I know you weren't asking me, but you would use Shrinky dink plastic paper, not shrink wrap. You can find it in craft stores or online. I love making shrinky dinks. You can buy it in colors or in clear. Plus you can use markers, colored pencils, paint, all sorts of cool ways to color it.
Also you can stamp on it with a permanent ink such as Stazon.
Are you using acrylic paint?
yes I am!
Hello! is that acrylic paint? And I'd need to know how big do I have to cut the piece in order to get a 2cm piece? Thank you
Hi yes it’s acrylic! And the shrinkie instructions say what size it shrinks down, I think it’s maybe a quarter of the size?
@@LucyBrydonArt Thanks!
Did you seal with anything? These are fantastic! I've been playing with shrink plastic and alcohol ink, but now I've been inspired to get out my Gelli plate!
cerealnana I didn’t, cause they were just wee examples, but yeah I reckon putting a layer of varnish on would really bring the colour out too!
@@LucyBrydonArt You can also use embossing powder on them after they shrink. reheat them and you can add layers of embossing.
And if you don't have shrink plastic/shrinky dinks then you can just cut out the plane side of a plastic box but it should have a recycle sign with a six inside it
oh yes good tip!
Hi so when they dried the paint didn’t peel off? I’m a newby to Shrinkles and I painted them 😳.... oh the stress and time wasted 😬
no the paint didnt peel off doing it this way!
In love thanks
Phillippa Phillips thanks!
Where in the world do you get this Gelli plate?
Nancy H you can get them on Amazon or direct from gelli Arts if you live in the USA
@@LucyBrydonArt thank you - are these acrylic paints?
Nancy H yes they are acrylics!
I thought that acrylic paint was not heat proof and should not be applied before shrinking. 😅
When you heat plastic/polymers they produce TOXIC gases!
Is this safe?
AWFUL DISTRACTING MUSIC! GREAT VIDEO.
there's always a mute button :)
