I knew those pretty patterned bags would come in handy! It was hard to get everything organised because I made a mess (of course!!) but it was really easy to fuse the peices together. It's really cool when they suddenly fuse together. It was also hard finding enough regular plastic bags because we're not using them as much, but that's a good thing :) While ironing I'd advise that you look under the paper carefully a couple of times to check it's alright. When I do this again I'm going to use more layers, these are quite thin. Not all plastic bags will work, one type of bag (H&M) shrivelled up completely! Luckily it was at the very back. They aren't going to be used as coasters. They're gonna go up in my room in a frame that I'll probably make myself. The 'e' is the initial of my name (Emma) and seeing 'Arise' in the morning will hopefully make me get up! Big thank you to bkkmom!
