Linda Peterson demonstrates how to create the look of dichro with Friendly Plastic on October 25, 2010 Cool2Craft LIVE TV! Watch LIVE from your computer at noon Eastern! Join in the LIVE chatroom! Ask your questions LIVE! Did we mention it’s LIVE!
Join Linda Peterson on Monday October 25th at 12 noon Eastern time - (11am central and 5pm in the UK) to learn how to create a dichroic effect in Friendly Plastic using some materials she brought back from England!!! Such a fun technique inspired by Liz Welch.
By request, the latest in the Friendly Plastic TV series features pellets. Friendly Plastic pellets are very versatile and suitable for use in moulds, custom colors, and many rubberstamping techniques.
In this video, we feature pellets and rubberstamping to create a faux jade and artifact pendant based on the steampunk trend that is so popular.
Purchase a 1.5 oz sample pack of Friendly Plastic pellets here.
