  Step 1

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

• 

  Step 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!)

• 

  Step 3

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

• 

  Step 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!)

• 

  Step 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.

• 

  Step 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

• 

  Step 7

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

• 

  Step 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!

I'm tempted to say try the oven on waxed-paper... but wondering what kinda fumes that'd create *frown*... hmmm.
I'm surprised the iron didn't work. Get a better iron? lol.
enh...sorry lol. Mayhaps I'll think of something... I'll let u know if I do!
