I LOVE this craft & have tested every plastic and the only one that actually works is #6.

My kids make fun of me because I shrink EVERYTHING! Some of those pre-approved credit cards that come in the mail are #6 – if you leave them in long enough, they come out Barbie sized.

As for finding #6, sometimes lids of things like margarine are #6, even though the container is not. Bakery goods & fresh vegetables like grape tomatoes are sometimes #6 also.

A friend of mine said it works with #5 plastic, too, though I’ve never tried it. If you give it a shot, I’d love to hear how it goes!

Well I guess it is a good thing that I can not find #6 plastic here – since it is not on the preferred recycling list and all. I have been keeping my eye out for some for month. I guess I don’t do deli food enough or something.

But darn it! I want to try this.
