Plastic fusing

Learned to make plastic bags out of plastic bags.

I came across this technique through material and manufacturing course guided by Sahil Thappa during our 4th semester in NID. It's a fun and affordable way to recycle polythene bag at home. With an Iron box and little bit of craftsmanship you can do all sort of crazy stuff.

I wanted to see If it's possible to make intricate patterns by layering different plastic sheets. With little bit of patience someone can make highly detailed accessories by this technique. People use butter paper between the iron box and plastic for fusing I have used thick cotton clothes and you can even imprint the texture on to the plastic if done with gradual increase in temperature. In the fanny pack I managed to avoid all the wrinkles that will appear due to shrinking by gradual increase in temperature and using a cotton cloth.

Okay now go and make something. Shooooooo. Go fast.
