What I found is that it will be misshapen if you use the sides, even if they are flat. My guess is it is because that part was stretched out differently to conform to the container shape. If you use the flat parts at the top or bottom of your container, I think you will get better results. @Kittie,

I made shrinky dinks (store bought) when I was a kid and wanted to do some with my kids but never could find any in the store and the shrinky dinks website was too expensive and didn't have the designs we wanted to make. I'm gonna try this and will send you our results. Thanks again. Oh, can we post our shrinky dink pix results on here?? Thank you so very much for this info.

They will flatten and cool in about a minute. To Chloe, when you pull them from the oven lay them on a flat counter and put a heavy book on top while they are still warm.

What did I do wrong? I used clear #6, put it in a metal baking tray (it's quite deep, it that a problem?) covered in tin foil and baked it at 180C for 3 minutes. Does it always flatten out again?
