Crinkle, Crinkle

What do you use to make that nice crinkle sound? I'm making some toys for my dd and nephew and would love to add some crinkle to them.

The little windows on junk mail envelopes! But I've only "crinkled" little pieces, like ears for a stuffed animal.

I use cellophane. (sheets). Can't remember where I bought it, but it was very thin, transparent and crispy crunchy sounding.

I always thought plastic bags would work. And it would keep them out of landfills.

I found a very cute tutorial for making little fabric blocks for babies and there was a suggestion for stuffing them with pieces of plastic bags to get that crinkle noise. Here is the link if anybody is interested in making one... it is the soft baby cube

Plastic bags definitely crinkle less than the cellophane does, but I would think it would be likely to last longer as well.

Some brands of tortilla chip bags work great. Be sure to rinse the oils off first.

I have used both plastic bags and tortilla chip bags . I like the plastic bags because they are easier for me to stuff into an object and form to the shape better... they make less lumps. But I agree, cellophane or a chip bag makes a nicer "crisper" sound.

I've saved a bag from a cereal box that I plan to use. I'm thinking I'll cut it just a bit smaller than the thing I'm trying to make crinkley then sew it into the seam to keep it from bunching. It makes more of a crunchy sound than a crinkley sound though.
