Step 2
Now with your handy dandy scissors cut off the bottoms and the handles of the plastic bags.
(Don't throw the scraps away you can use them later: if you iron a whole bunch of them together you will get a really sturdy material good for the base of bags or you could use it for a bracelt, headband etc.)
-
Step 4
Put a peice of parchment on your ironing board and then layer the plastic bags, at least 4 (the more you add the more durable the fabric) according to your liking.
You can cut out shapes from other plastic or play with layering colours and play with the patterns on the bag (target bags and macy's bags are cool) but its time to go crazy!
-
Step 5
So now turn your iron on to a medium ish heat just depending on how many layers you have. If you need to turn it higher thats fine but if its to hot you might burn hole in the plastic.
Try to squish out some of the air this will making the material easier to deal with and will give you an idea of what its going to look like when fused.
Lay the secound piece of parchment on top and iron form the middle out. Be sure to get the edges good.
-
Step 6
Turn it over after a few secounds.
You may need to turn it over a couple of times.
-
Step 7
Now you have your fabric (or what ever we want to call it) and now go be creative! NOW I CAMMAND YOU *says with an athoritative voice and points her finger at you* :)
