Step 1
|
Heat electric skillet (or sauce pan) filled with approx. 2" of water until it steams (should
not be boiling). Fill a small bowl with cool water.
|
Step 2
|
Hat. Place a 1" piece of Red/Red Friendly Plastic® face side down in steaming water.
Touching one corner only; use needle tool to maneuver it around bottom of skillet until
soft and pliable.
|
Step 3
|
Dampen fingers with cool water. Use needle tool to remove plastic from skillet and place
across top two thirds of head, resembling a swimming cap. Work with dampened fingers
to maneuver the softened plastic in place, wrapping slightly around edges to back side of
head. Face side up; press lightly onto work mat to smooth back while still soft.
|
Step 4
|
Place a 2" piece of Red/Red Friendly Plastic® place face down in steaming water. Once
softened, remove from water with needle tool. Fold in half lengthwise; with wrong sides
pressed together. Pinch lightly to remove any air pockets. With fold side facing you, work
quickly to press the opposite softened plastic edges directly onto side edges of the plastic
"swim cap" to join. Continue to manipulate hat to shape as desired. Let cool approximately
5 minutes to harden.
