5. Bake the photo according to the package's directions. Typically, most shrink plastic brands will require you to bake the plastic at 275 degrees. The time it takes for the plastic to shrink varies. Keep an eye on the plastic as it shrinks. When the plastic has thickened to its maximum, the plastic will stop shrinking. Allow the plastic to completely cool before moving onto the next step.
Creating plastic photo cutouts is light with inkjet printable shrink plastic. Inkjet printable shrink plastic allows you to print photos in any shape or style and bake them. Once baked, the plastic shrinks and thickens, creating a rigid plastic part featuring your artwork or photograph. You can then employ these plastic photo cutouts to contrive cake toppers, jewellery or other 3D embellishments. For a glossier shine, respray the piece in layers as the acrylic spray dries best in thin layers.
