AMACO Friendly Plastic® Designer Sticks Back by Popular Demand!

Friendly Plastic®– the shimmering metallic foil strips are back! What was once the 80’s jewelry craze jumped the pond to the UK… when it came rolling back this past summer, it came back as one of the most popular jewelry and papercrafting mediums in Europe. Popularized by UK web diva and craft personality Liz Welch, the foil strips mounted on plastic make embellishing papercrafts so much fun… as the medium can become anything that’s needed on a page, a card or a jewelry piece. Says Welch, “I adore the fact that Friendly Plastic® can be bold, brash and exciting; but with a quick bit of texture and applied color, it can also be subtle and sophisticated.”

Liz Welch demonstrated her techniques at CHA Summer 2007 with jewelrymakers imitating her techniques and incorporating them into their own designs. Now Jana Ewy, the popular author/designer of FRIENDLY PLASTIC 101 will demonstrate her techniques at CHA-Anaheim 2008. Over 64 colors of Friendly Plastic® in 1.5” x 7 metallic foil sticks can be cut with scissors or heated for molding, shaping and bending.
