Friendly Plastic Strips go to Iceland where Klara makes Beautiful Friendly Plastic Jewelry

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010
That's right...Friendly Plastic has made it's way to Iceland - How cool is that? 

I've been corresponding with a lady who has watched our Friendly Plastic segments on Cool2Craft and followed this blog.  Although she had never tried Friendly Plastic she was inspired to give it a whirl!  So she contacted me and asked where to buy Friendly Plastic.  I was able to hook her up.

She just emailed that she received her package and look what she's already made using Friendly Plastic strips - Beautiful Friendly Plastic jewelry!



Klara was kind enough to upload these to Facebook where she tagged me to see.  I think this is awesome!!! Wow!  THANK YOU Klara!

CrafTECH University offers an on-demand class on how to use Friendly Plastic in a class called "Fusion Illusion". It's an excellent overview of all the basics you will need to create Friendly Plastic jewelry too. 

Also, peruse this blog for Free Friendly Plastic projects, instructions and how to videos.

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!
