Step 3Shrinking
Now it's time for the shrinky fun. Your favorite cookie sheet lined with wax paper is all you need to make the medals.
I place the cookie sheet in a cold oven and set it for 350 degrees. You can see in the pictures that they will curl up in a 'cupping' fashion. Don't panic, they will flatten out. I've experienced some plastics that don't quite get perfectly flat, but that just makes them uniquely hand-made. Of course for my example, they turned out perfectly. Total time is around 5 minutes; keep an eye on them and take them out when they flatten out.
Slide the wax paper off the cookie sheet onto the counter and move each medal to prevent them from becoming one with the wax paper. Mine cool very rapidly. Be careful!
