    You can also use number 5 plastic if you're looking to upcycle! It's the clear plastic you find in plastic lunch containers like this http://www.packagingsupplies.com/images/products/clear_plastic_carryout_boxes.jpg

    Michaels Craft Stores carry shrinky dinks sheets in a variety of colors. Very affordable with their discount coupon.

    #6 Plastics work the same as shrinky dink material. Reduce reuse recycle!
