Plastic Bag Drinking Coasters

wow that is cool

I have done plenty of plastic bag fusing making jewellery etc. With multiple layers you want a slightly lower heat so it doesnt burn the top layer but still fusing all together. If you leave it on too long you will get holes (which can be interesting)It often only take a few passes over the plastic. I put paper on top and underneath my plastic. Also let it cool a little before you remove the paper. You will hear crackling as it separates itself from the plastic. Hope this helps. Have fun

I think the heat is set too high, try to use the lowest heat settings. It takes some time for the layers of plastic to fuse together.

I have no clue what I'm doing wrong the iron either melts and shrinks it or the layers don't stick together. Can you turn up the heat higher if you have a sheet of paper between the iron and the layers of plastic

tracing paper on top might work better as it isnt dangerous on the iron and wont stick

how cute:3

I tried it and it wouldn't stop sticking to the paper and there were a bunch of holes in the plastic. What am I doing wrong?

I never saw Mr. Bun before but he is a cutie!! =)

I love these! Sorry if I'm being dim (!?) but do you need to put paper underneath the plasic bags too, or won't it just stick to whatever surface you're ironing on? help!

to Chloe , the iron may be set too hot, try it at lowest setting ( nylon , maybe ? ) . Plus there should be a paper on top of the plastic bag sheets.

Help. My iron melts evertying & I get goo all over it.
What am I doing wrong?

Taz, yes A4 paper !

I'm yet to try fusing plastic bags, but you've inspired me to give this a go. I like the idea that images on the paper can transfer onto the bags. When you say printer paper, do you mean just plain A4 paper?

very cool! I love fusing plastic bags Its fun fun sauce

thanks !

:o I looove this!
