Robi Discovers Friendly Plastic



During my trek of the Great Tanned South, I took it upon myself to visit every Art Supply store I could find, give them a little business, and continue on with my life. I am pleased with my most excellent shopping skills and purchasing items unavailable to the unfortunate Canadians of the North.

One item I had my sights set on was Friendly Plastic - and at $1.17 a stick, it was too hard a bargain to pass up; so I loaded up the bottom right side of my cart with many colours, and eagerly anticipated my return home where I could learn to play with them.

I whipped out my red teflon baking sheet, brand new 'Drill Master' heat gun ($9.99 from Harbor Freight), scissors, and assortment of sticks, and brought on the heat!


!!!!Robi's Amazing Tip of the Day!!!!
Instead of trying to store my sticks in a drawer, I grabbed the spindle that comes with many document storage boxes.  I can hang the spindles and easily remove the desired strips when needed.  I am also using the spindles to organize all my embellishments and anything that has a 'hang tag' or 'hole' -- much easier than rummaging!





See? It is so easy to access the strips now!






I found my embellishments around my 
craft room; wool, beaded fringe, willow 
twigs.

  1. I have been tempted to try this product but for now I will be strong and resist until I get UFO's and craft organizing done. This stuff looks great. Have fun!
