Inlaying Objects

Technique courtesy of designer Liz Welch

Heat and soften Friendly Plastic® using a griddle, heat tool or oven (dry heat). Position and press the chosen items onto the softened plastic. Be sure to press the items in deep enough to insure a permanent setting. You may want to drag tiny amounts of the surrounding plastic over the edges of the items for additional security. If neither of these is an option, you can wait until the plastic has cooled completely, remove the item, add a spot of glue and adhere the item back in place. See AMACO’s Friendly Plastic Craft Library for a variety of projects using this technique.

• With this technique you can use a wide range of items; Buttons, sequins, beads, trinkets, charms, feathers, wire, washers, found objects, micro beads, glitter, fabric (small pieces), yarns and threads, punched paper shapes and small scraps or cut-outs of Friendly Plastic®.
