1. 

   

   Gather 2gether loads of kinds of plastic rubbish!
   And cut in2 loads of little chippings 4 melting 2gether

2. 

   

   Use your kitchen scissors for this as it is quite hard! And watch out because it can go all over!
   Luckily I am the mum and it's my kitchen! (Plastic chip cookies! No Way!)




3. 

   

   Here it shows me making a sandwich (none edible) of foil,plastic n foil ready 2 iron!

4. 

   

   The iron was used dry but didn't seem to get hot enough 2 melt the plastic!
   Crappy iron! I am so glad I don't use it 2 much (whats that you say kids? I don't use it at all!)




5. 

   

   I shall use my trusty heat gun! That will melt it!
   Now I am sorry 2 say this next bit didn't work, and I have no piccies of it!
   BUT IT DIDN'T work in away!
   The plastic stuck to the foil! URRRR!
   So I heated it up again with my heat gun, and opened up the foil.

6. 

   

   This is the plastic being melted on the foil with my heat gun,but I found using greaseproof paper best!
   Some of the plastic stuck to the foil

7. 

   

   Here it is on greaseproof paper!Much better! Even better still no iron!
   Just a lump!(Stinky 2)

8. 

   

   Now what 2 do with it?
   Who said bin it!Are you looking to upset me....
   I know I will put it 2 one-side and have a think!
   I think I should stick to plastic bottle beads....
   UNTIL I can buy something that will heat up to like a super nova heat!?
   Hair straighteners...(well they worked with wax once!
