I have this picture of a field of sunflowers that I enjoy and decided to make it into a Shrinky Dink magnet. I printed it onto the Shrinky Dink paper with no problem. It started going down hill when I cut it out. The cutter I used skipped on the edges, so I had to use regular scissors to trim it. Apparently while I was cutting I must have had a seizure or something because I went all over the place and though it didn't look to bad at first, I then baked it! ugh And on top of the not so straight cutting job, while it was baking, the Shrinky Dink curled and got stuck in a sausage like roll. I had to use two steak knifes to pry it apart! Steak knifes and Shrinky Dinks, not a good mix.
So the good news, I got it to lay flat. Bad news, it looks a mess! I still slapped some magnet tape on the back and called it a day because the picture is still pretty, and it's currently holding up a picture, so hey, mission accomplished!
