Ok ladies, I am going to figure this out. We do not have polar brand cups where I live and I cannot find them on line either. So far I have used Solo Cups (recycling code#1) and they meted and looked like top hats…similar to Sharla’s first attemp. I have also used fruit cups (recycling code #5) and they meted and folded over on themselves creating a blob mess. I’m going around town tomorrow looking for other clear cups with different recycling codes. I’ll let you know what happens.

Ladies, I believe if you look at the recycle emblem on the bottom and see what number is there. It might be a 6. Whatever number is there will identify the type material you need. Don’t buy by brand, buy by number. Keep track of the properties of each by their number. Later you will be able to choose what reaction you want, and choose by number for any project. The numbers work on all plastic stuff. Like the plastic flip top boxes from your local deli. Hope this helps make it easier to find your crafting materials. ?

In reply to Bek. Yes, I was wondering where you punched the hole. I imagine it makes a big difference.

We have done Shrinky Dinks one time, and they had so much fun! But I haven’t been able to find a kit again that they both like.
This is such a great way to reuse those plastic cups after playing a cup game! Definitely going to keep my eyes open for the right brand.
