This is amazing, I go to college & in my 2D Design class a lady makes flowers out of plastic bottles. So looking up plastic bottle ideas, i found this. This sounds amazing ' am going to share this with my class mates. I'm an artist & a crafter, so this sounds so fun & Im obsessed with recycling. I'm going to really share this idea with lots of people, thanks

I try this a few minutes ago.. I really love it but some of the beads (really bad english...:$) the sides went black.. But I paint it green, so it looks really amazing (black, silver?, green, silver, black Happy)

Yeah I wouldnt do this so your melting the plastic as it releases harful gases that damage the environment. Just heating the plastic is okay tho!

Very few things make me actually laugh out loud, even if I say I LOL'd, but your "5]Heat gun, or if you are ghetto like me, a lighter Happy really did make me laugh out loud. Still giggling.

Great directions, fantastic idea. I'll be trying this.

This is fabulous.
But, isn't plastic toxic when melted. At the very least pretty stinky? How do you overcome that.
Thanks

my friend Kit is becoming a jeweler or something, 4/6 of the necklaces she's bought are made ;)
maybe I should make some of my own pendants, beads etc and sell them to her? I smell an epiphany x)
