In high school we would put empty chips or twisties packets into the front part of the heaters in the schoolrooms, and they would shrink to a mini version just like these shrinky-dinks. I once made myself a necklace out of all different kinds of tiny chips, twisties, cheezels, etc packets.
And a question for the other Aussies here: I was overseas for a decade during the time the Australian $10 note came out, i.e. the first plastic notes. (For you non-Aussies: they're all like that now.) Is it true that they will shrink like a shrinky-dink as well? I heard if you had one in your pocket when you washed it it would be okay but not if you then put your washing into the clothes dryer, as it would shrink. True? I would try it with a $5 note, but we don't have a clothes dryer.
