copied this from elsewhere -
Friendly Plastic® Designer Sticks are a non-toxic plastic that can be used to create exciting jewelry, accessories, home decor, and wearable art projects. Finished pieces made with Friendly Plastic® can be used alone or combined with jewelry findings, picture frames, porcelain-like faces or anything that pleases your imagination. Free form designs can be made with Friendly Plastic® Designer Sticks by softing them in warm water (140º F, 60º C) and then shaping with your hands, craft tools or any household object. Friendly Plastic® Designer Sticks can also be used to create two-dimensional designs by layering different colors then carefully placing your design on a cookie sheet and baking in a standard or toaster oven. Friendly Plastic® cools and becomes hard again in just a few seconds when placed into cold water but can be resoftened for reuse or to make changes when placed back into warm water. IMPORTANT: Metallic sticks will lose their metallic appearance if softened too long. Softened plastic sticks cannot be separated if they are allowed to touch. Handle softened sticks carefully. NOTE: Pieces made with Friendly Plastic® will soften or melt at 100º F when exposed to direct sunlight or similar heat sources for long period of time. |

Friendly plastic is coloured thicker plastic(not very good at explaining it)You heat it with your heat gun,then I score it with a comb zigzag it,add other
bits to it, bend it,any thing that your imagination takes you to but you have to do it quick while it is soft because it hardens again quite quick,It is great
fun.
