“The beauty is that Orks are not the most artistic lot, and surely not perfectionsists.” ~Joanne Dimmeno

Materials:
Shrink plastic (Can be clear, or colored; usually about $6 for six sheets)
Water-based acrylic paint or colored pencils
200-300 grit sand paper
Heat source(oven, hair drier etc)
Brown paper(brown paper bag) or vellum

Time: If you can color quickly, twenty minutes
Step 1: Cut a section of shrink plastic between two and three times the size of the desired finished piece. Sand both sides of your shrink plastic with the sandpaper. Be careful. If the area doesn’t have scratches, then the pencil won’t leave any marks. Paint can be used without the sandpaper, but adheres better to a rough surface.




Step 2: Draw and color! You may want to color on one side and paint on the other, or wait to paint the “back” until the plastic has shrunk.



Trim plastic if desired.

The shrink plastic that we used usually shrinks to 1/3 original size when placed in an oven at 300 degrees F, but may shrink to half size if using a blow-dryer or rubber stamp embossing heat gun.


Step 3: Pre-heat an oven to 300◦F. Place strips of plastic on brown paper or velum on a cookie sheet. Cover with another sheet. (We cut a lunch bag in half.)
(These next few steps can be done with a hair drier but won’t have the same effect)



Step 4: Bake for 2 to 3 minutes. Take out and promptly flatten with something heat-resistant and sturdy- we used a tile, but you can use a spatula, heavy jar, etc.


Step 5: Paint any additional details you’d like and glue in place- you have an armor plate!
