There is still so much more to say about this silly melting plastic method of creating all sorts of funky shapes.

If I repeat myself, I really apologize.

I am including a photo here that shows the starting phase of placing plastic pieces into cupcake tins, regular and smaller size.

Here is what I put in there to be melted: pony, translucent, colorful, plastic beads (from Walmart, $4.99 a round package, 1 lbs, I think), pieces of broken tempered glass ( I will be referring to it as tg), glass, flatback gems, smaller, seed, glass beads and, also from Walmart, found in aquarium accesories section, acrylic chunks of plastic, used normally as decorations for the aquariums. Bad news is, they stopped selling them at least in the store near me, but if they stopped in one, they probably stopped selling them in all others. These chunks of plastic were excellent to make my plastic thingies. Oh, well. I will try to ask at a pet store if they have those in their "fish" section.

At he same time Walmart has similar acrylic chunks in floral decor and wedding stuff decore, but more expensive, so I pretty much made a 180 turn. I am sticking to cheaper stuff.

Sooooo, for now, lets just get everything together we want to melt.

I have to say that another item I realized I can use, besides the beads are clear plastic utensils. I started to collect those, asking Friends to keep them for me, and don't have to be clean, I will wash them, just BRING THEM TO ME, Pweeeeeeeze!!!

They are cheaper and better to fill the item you want to make by melting, and you will need to add less colorful beads, but you may add, glitter, more flat back glass gems to keep all the stuff colorful.

A word of warning, plastic will crack a little bit around the glass marbles, but to offset and cover up that look, placing pieces of tg, next to them kind of takes attention away from the cracks, plus you can still glue and hide the flaws after the piece is done melting or the clear epoxy that you can finish the piece with will cover up the flaws.

I think, I will say more in the next post, and be happy to answer questions, if you sign up to read what I have to say about anything that comes to my mind and I will start working on it to my Loved ones' despair and amazement at the same time. Boo boos also happen, too , so please be prepared to have those , too, but without trying we will never find out anything.
