Inlay: Friendly Plastic® into Friendly Plastic®

Technique courtesy of designer Jana Ewy

Heat and soften Friendly Plastic® on a non-stick surface, using a griddle or oven (dry heat). Arrange and carefully place the chosen pieces of hard plastic onto the softened plastic. Allow the hard pieces to soften and inlay into the base plastic. The longer they are left on the heat the more complete the inlay will become. If a more dimensional effect is desired, you will want to remove the plastic from the heat, once the desired effect is achieved. See AMACO’s Friendly Plastic Craft Library for a variety of projects using this technique.
