    Yes, and it makes great Christmas ornaments and diaper bag tags.

    Yep and heres a link to what I did with it as a technique tutorial I used for scrapbooking

    Mini Tutorial - Shrink Charms

    I get mine all over the place, Hobby Lobby, Walmart, and so on. All kinds of companies sell it now too.

    FYI - you can put the sheet onto your printer and print any design you want on it. My sil made gift tags and the font and designs came out so nicely, we use them as Christmas ornaments. I'm not sure if she used a color printer or if she colored them herself, but I can find out.

    I have used it and I love it. I got mine at AC Moore. I made a dog tag for our dog with it. I had a blast.
