I’ve heard about doing the crisp bags in the oven - but I’ve never seen it.
This sounds a much more mature use of the skill.
With a prettier result.
My heat gun is not in France.
I am ashamed to confess it’s still in the packet.

Never worry about what other people think of you -
they don’t do it very often.

Hi! LuKaStOkA
Becki says how she shrank the plastic in the oven on the first page of this thread about 12 posts down. A bit trial and error, but worked for her!
Is this what you mean?
It’s usually done by buying the shrink plastic, stamping a pattern on it and colouring it, and then holding it down with a cocktail stick or something while blasting hot air from the heat gun on it, which makes it curl up in all sorts of ways, but it usually shrinks out evenly. Then finally flattening it with the flat back of the stamp before it cools.
Hope this helps! But If you knew it anyway, it probably didn’t.
If you get SKY, Channel 671 (Create and Craft)is back-to-back craft workshops and it’s bound to come up. You can also get it on computer.
Cheers!

No problem!
You might be able to get it on computer.
http://www.createandcraft.tv is their website if you fancy a wander, and it soesn’t interfere with your download limit.
I know there’s a stamping programme there at 4.00pm today (UK time)- and you can get previous ones too.
See you around the Forum!
