I have learned to fuze anything plastic.
You would be surprised as to how many everyday things are made of plastic.
Save plastic bags,wrappers, easter egg grass etc.
Materials:
Parchment paper -2 sheets of equal length
Hot iron
Imagination
Arrange your plastic pieces on the parchment, be sure not to let the plastic overhang the edges( it will migrate to the iron and fuze to it and make a mess)
Place the second piece of parchment on top and iron with light pressure.
You will hear the plastic shrinking, so any progect has to be generous in size.
The finished fuzed pieces can be sewn,or hot glued to make a bag, flagg,CD cases.
Here is a small gift bag for the holidays.
Sorry the picture is so yellow
