Shrinky dinks are so much fun! It's something that my niece and I do together so this book would be great to give us ideas on our shrinky dink afternoons.

When I was a kid, my sister and I made Christmas ornament Shrinky Dinks. They hung from our tree for years and years.
How wonderful would it be to make some with her kids, my niece and nephews?!

I love shrinky dinks! I spent hours playing with these as a kid. I'm glad to see they're making a come-back.

I would LOVE to have some Shrinky Dinks for my two girls (though secretly I want to play too)!!

It brings me right back to Speak n Spell, Koosh balls, Rubix cubes and other fun toys we used in the early 80s. So glad these are making a come back.

I remember Shrinky Dinks. In fact, I may still have some of the original designs that came with the plastic. It's still a great medium for creating with.

I have wanted these for sooo long but my mom would never let me have them because they had to go in the oven.
I got my own oven now. hahaha

How cool - I've been thinking about shrinky-dink jewelry possibilities lately. Something like this could be just the spark of inspiration I need!
Reply to this comment
I am so happy that this book has been published! I have all of Sherri Haab's books, and even though I am 55 years young, I still love Klutz' books! I truly believe that as long as one knows how to play and be creative, youth is eternal! My future grandchildren are so lucky! I would love to win this book, but even if I don't, I will buy it.

This is something that I've been thinking about adding to my jewelry (in my own way) for awhile, so I would love a copy of this book! I never did shrinky dink stuff as a kid, so I'm one of the few that needs to learn, plus it would be something that my son could help me with!

I have been a fan of Klutz Books since I was a wee bookseller so many years ago. Shrinky Dinks would be a great project for my monthly craft meeting. I'm always looking a crafty fun projects for my group and the extra supplies would help too.

I love crafting with my friends kids and I looove shrinky dinks! Having this to take with me for craft days would be AWESOMENESS!
Reply to this comment
I like to think I'm crafty, or at least I dabble in a number of media and project types, but have to say that Shrinky Dink is so easy and yes, versitile to use. Lately I've been doing magnets and cell phone charms.
On the whole, definitely a favourite material!

I haven't used shrinky dinks since I was kid. I actually saw someone make some stitch markers from shrinky dinks, so cute. I think this would be something fun to try with the kid.

Yhanks for the opportunity to win this book, I would love to share the 'magic' of shrinky dinks with my daughter!
Reply to this comment
This is SO KEWL!!! If I win, I will have total control over the shrinky-dinks, which has kinda been a life-long dream of mine; no brothers or sisters leaning over and scribbling on MY design or getting the last piece of plastic because they wrecked their first one and cried (wow- maybe I need a side of therapy with the shrinky-dinks...)
Reply to this comment
oooh Yes I was totally telling some one about Shrinky Dinks last week!
Would love to play with them again

Shrinky dinks are so much fun. I loved them as a kid and still do love them. My kids never really got into them. I guess I should show them how they work and then they might....well they are older now.....
The book looks fun.

I love shrinky dinks, and just started experimenting with them again. I had forgotten how much fun they are! What is even more fun is that they are also a science lesson too! P.S. I had Smurfs, Pee Wee Herman, and Betty Boop sets as a kid, when they still sold them that way.

ooh, we love to do shrinky dinks but most of them sit in a container afterwards. We could use some new ideas for creative projects to make with them!

Wow, I've got to have this book. I remember how much fun those Shrinky Dinks were, and I own nearly every other Klutz book in existence. Thanks so much for the chance to win a copy... but if I don't, I'll be at the bookstore shopping for it soon!

My five-year-old daughter would adore them. Her mother, who is in her mid-30s, still talks about doing Shrinky-Dinks as a child, and would also get a charge out of them.

I swear my heart skipped beat when I saw this post. I loved shrinky dinks when I was a kid but never really was allowed to have them (weird hey). One of the things I love about the whole fashion cycle thing is all the stuff I loved when I was a kid is now coming back in time for my own kids to share the love.

I remember when my mom let me do Shinky Dinks for the first (and last time) when I was young. I thought they were the coolest thing ever, but once the plastic was done, it was done, and I never really repeated the process.
But, it looks like my own daughter might not have this problem. Getting this in my crafting library may make many a rainy day go by much faster!
