Shrinking

So my baking pans are in storage. {Big shocker.} Since my master plan did *not* include being in this apartment for 6 months, I bought some throw-away baking pans when we got here. This week I finally bought a real baking pan for six bucks at Walmart. {Pyrex, remember? . . .} I spent way too much replacing my throw-away pans while we have resided here. Oh well. {BTW, I realized that we have lived in these apartments longer than anywhere else we have lived. Five years plus six months. Sad commentary on our life...}
A nice side effect is that we were able to turn these lids into these.




The key is that it has to be a #6 recycleable plastic. Once you’ve got that, check out the tutorial here and then you can go Shrinky Dink crazy! While saving the environment.
