These decorative bowls are so much fun to make because each one turns out totally different and unique.  Vary they texture with different stamps, add different colors of embossing powders, paint and maybe even a little Rub-N-Buff(R) to give it a little extra glow... Enjoy!

Friendly Plastic Technique Video – Jen Lowe’s cutting system

Thursday, December 3rd, 2009
One of the most frequently asked questions is how to cut strips of friendly plastic evenly. Jen Lowe has developed a method that will make cutting thin strips a snap....and save your wrists too!!

Thanks JEN for sharing the video with us!

I've come up with a great way to cut your Friendly Plastic into strips - both 1/4" and 1/8" with very little effort. Using a Logan Mat cutting system.



this system will run you about $30 - when it's half off at Hobby Lobby. But....I've made a modification that I'll try to share in the next few days that will get you TWO systems! And I like my modified cutting system even better! Sure beats using a knife and a ruler!

Friendly Plastic Basics – Fusing Strips together on a griddle – Video

Monday, November 23rd, 2009
The Fracture and Fusion technique of fusing strips together on a griddle is one of the best Friendly Plastic Techniques developed. In this video Jen shows you just how easy it is to begin working with Friendly Plastic.

Well, I did promise a bunch of 5 minute videos! If you have something else you want to see how it's done, just let me know!

This video is going to show you several things. It will show you how to fuse strips using the griddle method. I'll show you how I use finger cots because my fingers just can't handle the heat. I show you how to tap strips together. And then I show you how to eliminate bubbles.



So, just watch this 3 or 4 times and you should be able to fuse your own Friendly Plastic strips together. What fun!!!
