Recyle Month - Plastic Shopping Bags

Melting/Fusing Plastic Shopping Bags
Have spent today cutting up those plastic shopping bags and putting together about 8 pieces for each new piece. Have already discovered that the thicker plastic type of bags don't work that well on their own as they melt into my paper and sticks to it. The grocery type of shopping bag works much better if you have about 8 pieces. Just don't leave the iron too long in one spot as you will end up with holes which can give it a good interesting look if that's what you want. So these are today's "fused" pieces. Now ready for the painting part of the process.
