Baked Dog Tags

Thursday, December 01, 2005

FasTagsAnyone remember back in the 1970's seeing those commercials for "Shrinky Dinks"? Those things you colored up, put into the oven, and they shrunk up into glossy colorful art?

Well, FasTags basically copies the same idea, except they already come colored, and are designed as pet tags. You just need to put your dog's name and owner info on the tag. Then it's ready to bake.

Actually, I didn't realize that Shrinky Dinks are still around. They don't have products specifically marketed as pet tags, but they do have the supplies available to accomplish the same thing.

If you have kids, it would probably be a great art project to create dog tags with Shrinky Dinks. Otherwise, if you want a baked dog tag really quick, FasTags is probably the choice.

  • FasTags® are actually made of a special heavy-weight plastic material that is custom produced just for their products. The heat shrink plastic available at some craft stores was much too light to make into a durable tag. Each tag comes with a brass eyelet already in place, that was designed to minimize buckling of the plastic when it shrinks, as well as a laminate that helps protect the writing on the tag. It may seem similar to the old Shrinky Dink product, but there are actually major differences.

  • I have to say that I bought this for my puppy at a local pet shop and really like the way it came out.

  • The idea is a complete copy of what Shrinky Dinks has been doing for lots of years... I used to make them for my kitty when I was a child...I'm 30 now. The plastic is NO different in thickness. The only difference is the sticky uncooperateive jelly like sticker you need to put in place to keep it from becoming faded. I still make my kitty tags from Shrinky Dinks plastic, because I don't want to be stuck with someone eles's design. Shrinky Dinks ROCK!!!
