Shrinky Dink Dog Tags

So, today’s fun craft was making new tags for the doggies. I used shrinky dink plastic and colored pencils to color them. Benjamin got a sea turtle, because he always lays like one. China got a lotus blossom. I based the art off of tattoos found online because the style went nice with the colored pencils.

No photos of the tags on yet – I have to wait for them to dry. I put a couple layers of varnish on the back side where my colored pencil is (I colored them backwards).

  1. Rather than buy the kits you can also just use #6 plastic. It’s the kind often used in clear salad togo containers. Works just the same and most recycle centers won’t take it anyway.

    • I did read about the #6 plastic. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any in the recycle bin. The sheets I bought looked just like it though – I had to sand one side to color on it. I will definitely be saving any future #6 we get.
