Question:

Can you bake with construction paper?

I'm trying to do shrink art and my friend said that you can use construction paper for bakingCan you put construction paper on a cookie sheet, put the shrink art on it, and bake it in the oven? Will the paper burn up?

Answer:

parchment paper will work well at most of your oven tempsIt is used for cooking oftenIt is a good non stick surfaceConstruction paper is more cardboardy and I would also be concerned about the colorantsOtherwise, you can give it try as long, as you aren't going over about 375-400 rangeIt will start to turn brown, if you leave it in there long enough (15-20 mins) I usually stick with parchment paper or aluminum foil for this kind of thingBe sure to have the house well ventilated - the last time I did shrink art, it smelled pretty strongly.
