Has anyone tried making shrink plastic keychains at Loklik Ideal Studio? I want to create vegetable and fruit keychains for my upcoming booth but have no idea what scale to use so that the final shrunk size is 2 inches or 2.5 inches. I also don’t know what transparency percentage to set (if that’s a relevant adjustment for the material or equipment). I’m a newbie to shrink film keychain crafting, so I was wondering if anyone has any tips?
Maybe @timmytation was it you and posted about it last year?
Oh I haven’t tried the printable one. I’ve onyl tried cutting with the iCraft and I was able to do it with the fine point blade.
I think @Sabeyneh has tried this also ![]()
I would recommend making test size designs shrink plastic can go down from 30% to 50% smaller then when you started so you can make a design 30% larger and one 50% and see but to not waste the test sheet I would fill it with the mix and the printable shrink plastic I have states it gets 50% smaller.
As far as cutting I am not sure as I just cut by hand but it is thicker so you may want to try for setting that would cut something say 2mm to help.
Thankyou so much ![]()
Excited to see how you go. Also, another tip is I had a long tooth pick to hold down the shrink plastic while it was shrinking as some of mine curled up and stuck to itself during this process. I used a heat gun in a small glass container to heat mine up.
