I used these to make stitchmarkers for a crochet/knitting swap at a fiber festival. I stamped images onto the sheets, cut them out, and baked. The directions were simple to follow and easy to figure out, especially after a batch or two. I used the Shrinky Dink sheets combined with
Shappy 160 Pieces Bulb Pins Calabash Pin Gourd Pins Safety Pins for Clothing Crafting and DIY, 8 Colors
to make my stitchmarkers. They turned out fantastic!
I used Stampin' Up ink, as that is all that I had readily available, but it is not recommended since it is a water-based ink. I discovered that only the black will really even stay on or show up. After stamping, I let dry for a while and colored in my images with Sharpies. This will work, but you have to be extremely careful, because the Sharpies will wipe the Stampin' Up ink off. If you can, I would recommend a permanent ink if you are going to use stamps.

Great fun for all ages
I love shrinky dinks, I use them in my jewelry making. It's not just for kids! You can use a variety of writing instruments on the surface of the shrinky sheets. The bright white sheets you have a little less freedom in the materials that you can use. It takes very well to rubber stamps and ink, and some markers. I mostly use the ruff n' ready sheets as they let me make really intricate drawings with extra fine tipped markers (they also take rubber stamps and ink well.) I'm including a picture of the ruff n' ready sheets for size comparison. Both the bright white and ruff n' ready shrink to the same size. Shrinky dinks are great fun for people of all ages, and if you have a hole punch you can make really cool pendants for necklaces or dangle earrings. In the teapot picture, the 2 teacups are on the bright white sheets, and the teapot is on the ruff n' ready - you can very clearly see the difference between the 2 sheets.

Shrinks a bit more then the rough and ready.

I normally use the rough and ready shrink plastic but wanted to give this a try. It shrinks down a bit more then the rough and ready but only slightly. It is a bit harder to paint over (spent more time building color then I've had to with the rough and ready, I think that's due to its slick surface). Overall I am happy with it. It creates a beautiful finished product. I will say the white shrink plastic does split easier then the rough and ready so be sure to cut carefully and slowly. I will be purchasing more for future projects.
