The Creatistics White Printable Shrink Film – Pack of 12 is a versatile and creative crafting material perfect for producing unique keepsakes, classroom art, and personalised gifts. These A4 shrink film sheets shrink to approximately 60% of their original size when baked, allowing students to observe transformation while engaging in hands-on creative expression. The sheets feature a sanded/matt side, making them ideal for drawing with coloured pencils, permanent markers, acrylic paints, or even printing photographs using an ink jet printer. This opens up endless artistic opportunities, from vibrant artwork to photographic mementos, all made compact and long-lasting after baking.
These sheets are a valuable educational tool that can integrate visual arts, STEM, and design technology into one fun project. Children will enjoy seeing their designs shrink and transform, creating sturdy end products like key tags, magnets, charms, and jewellery that they can proudly display or give as gifts. This resource also provides a great way to introduce children to heat transformation, material changes, and sequential crafting processes.
