It is super easy to recreate this 90s classic craft! You can find #6 plastic in a lot of places, we used a take out container and just cut a flat piece.
Trace out your design outline onto the plastic using sharpies.
Color it in with your sharpies, and then cut it out to size.
Place your design into the oven on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. It only takes 1 or 2 minutes before the little piece of plastic will shrink down. Pull it out of the oven once it is laying flat again.
It's always fun to bring back a retro craft! Try it out today!
