get yourself to the deli dept of the grocery store. Then get some salad or a donut or what ever in one of those clear containers. Then cut it about twice as big as you need. Put a hole somewhere in it. Put it on some foil on a cookie sheet. Then bake the thing at 200 degrees (pre-heat the oven) - it will shrink pretty fast and get thicker. If you need to bend it - do it while it is hot. This will be trial and error and guess work. If it is too big use a file or knife or what ever to shape it. If it is too small start over. You can make nice Christmas ornaments too... Paint on it or draw, cut it out and shrink it. Lots of fun for the kidos. Smelly. Try not to burn the house down.
