Step 3Charms - Shrinking
Place your plastic discs (colored side up if you only colored one side) on a sheet of parchment paper in a 225 degree oven (or toaster oven) . They will quickly start to curl up. Within a minute it should have flattened out again and be ready to remove.
Remove. If disc is not quite flat, while it's still hot, use a book on a hard surface to press it down and ensure it is flat.
Unlike store bought shrinky dinks, recycled #6 may not shrink evenly. For this project, that's ok, as they look cool as little ovals.
(If you need more info on the shrinking process, check out the other sources I referenced in the intro to this instructable)
