 This is an indistructable for how to make fused plastic planters,cups,bowls anything  you think would make a shape to fuse around.

The materials are 
- Plastic bags ( thicker bags work better)
- Iron

- sissors or a razor
- somthing to shape 

Preperation of Bags

 First plug in your iron as it takes a while to get hot

Cut your bags in what ever shape is going to work for your form.
I cut square pieces out of the bag.
Take the shinny heating blanket and cut a size shape that is bigger by a few inches than your plastic sheets.

Next layout your bags ontop of eachother 
(I used 4 layers of plastic for the gold cups)
 
Take the piece of shinny heating blanket and pt ontop of your plastic.

Use your iron and heat the shinny heat blanket then peel off to have fused plastic
