Colored pencils are gorgeous on Black PolyShrink! Just select 3 or 4 colors that you like together to make frames like these in no time.
As you color, notice how much (or how little) of the black you leave showing through. This, in addition to the colors you select, will dramatically change the look of your frames.

Cut the PolyShrink sheet in half longways. Color on the sanded side.

Plan to apply colored pencil before you punch out the center of your frame. This will prevent the pencil tip from catching on the PolyShrink as you're coloring. You may also want to plan for 4 frames per sheet of PolyShrink, to allow for for some extra layout room as shown above.

After coloring, punch out the center as shown previously in this section. Then trim the edges of the frame and bake.

Use of a spray sealer after baking is recommended. Please see our Sealers Page for more information.

Tip: Our samples are made using Prismacolor pencils. If you'd like to use a less expensive alternative, sand with a coarser grade of sand paper than you normally would. This will give a denser application of pencil brands with harder leads.
