Kids, don't put plastic directly onto an iron. That's how to ruin the iron. Always put parchment paper (not wax paper) between the iron and anything meltable.

The first one has to be a recycling "6ps" (polystyrene) plastic container in order to shrink like that

5:58 So creative. My daughter wanted me to immediately implement this idea with balloons. Thank

I like the mug idea. imagine camping, and next morning needing a mug for your warmly AM drink. easy matched set! LOL

Inspired by watching your channel's repurposing plastic containers videos, and out of necessity, I made a colander to wash spinach using the plastic container it came in. I used a knife to poke into the container's bottom twisting right, left and in a circle at each poke. I could have used a Dremel craft drill with a small (1/8") bit as well.
I then put spinach in a plastic produce bag, poured water in the bag to cover about 1/3 of the spinach, and then gently swirled the water about the leaves to clean any residual dirt. To drain the water from the bag and shake off as much as possible: I snipped holes in the seam area of the bag, the bottom, of the bag. Then, I held the bag up above my shoulder over the sink. After wiping off excess moisture, I poured the bag contents into the DIY colander and shook off remaining moisture.

[moccamecca]

Maybe some ideas with other plastic bottles besides water bottles and pop bottles like laundry soap bottles or bleach bottles??

[sherierodrigues]

I have only watched the first craft at this point, and, I WANT ONE. 😚 Sherie Rodrigues from Australia. And the 2nd idea, Been there, done that, so, I HAVE GOT TO HAVE ONE OF THOSE. LOL

The more common way to do shrinky-dinks is by quickly sand one side of the plastic and use colored pencils.

12:06 Let Mickey cool before removing the parchment paper.

[jackierios]

Shrinky dinks omg was awesome 👌 thanks

I worry if heating the plastics creates unhealthy off-gassing. ALSO, If you are using plastic bottles on a regular basis such ideas tap out pretty quickly -- just avoid regularly using plastic to begin with.

[opelfrost]

uh dont heat up plastic in your oven or inside your house... those are toxic fumes...

[martygagliardi]

Does recyclable totes work like the plastic shopping bags?
