In addition to making your own Shrinky Dinks (as per my blog post yesterday), did you know that you can shrink snack bags??? So cool!
.
After you eat your snacks (snacks should be the plastic bags with foil inside – like chip bags) wash and dry them so that they are really clean. Put your snack bags onto a parchment-covered cookie sheet and then cover with another piece of parchment paper and a 2nd cookie sheet. Check every few minutes until you have nice, small snack bags! This process will take about 10-12 minutes.
.
If you want to make them into earrings or a keychain or some such thing then just do your hole punching before you bake them. The bags will shrink to less than 1/4 the original size and become harder than the original bags.

NOTE: I am actually unsure whether this would work with plastic snack bags without foil lining. If you try that, let us know your results!

Do you have a ton of user manuals and instruction booklets laying around like I do? I have them organized in a file, but they seem to quickly pile up. I am loving this digital age we are in, so I thought I could free up some space with all these books with a virtual filing cabinet.

Have you heard of ManualsOnline? It is a database of over 300,000 manuals from different companies for everything you buy….from kitchen appliances to tech gadgets to bicycles. You can look up your manual online, add it to your ‘room’ in your account, and voila! You can throw away the hard copy. And best of all, it is FREE!

I love how organized it is, and it is easy to navigate. You can also download the manual to your computer hard drive as well if you don’t want to depend on their website. But either way you have a copy of the manual digitally, freeing up space in your filing cabinet! Awesome.

Once you find your correct manual, you can also click right to the manufacturer website from there. You can locate hard-to-find manuals and store your manuals in your virtual filing cabinet. Try it…I LOVE IT. I have emptied out an entire half of my desk drawer!
