if i were to colour it with a sharpie do i colour them before or after pointing them over the flame?

[Luvleescrappin]

@jcakf You can do either. I've tried both...and it works fine. I do find that coloring them before is easier because you have a smoother surface to color on :-) If you haven't already...be sure to check out part 2 video (the link is in the description box of this video) :-) TFW Leanne :-)

Hi can I use water bottles????

[Luvleescrappin]

@MrBailey965 Yes you can...as long as it's smooth (it may be difficult to work with if it's textured). The bigger the bottle the better...it may be difficult to cut out the circles using a small bottle because it will curl a LOT...making it difficult to melt and shape...lol!!! Have fun!!!

I like to draw my pattern on first. All you have to do to get the outline off is use a magic eraser pad

I absoutely LOVE turning trash to treasure. Thank you so very much. I'm measurement empaired so any idea how many flowers from one pop bottle?

[camjrkane]

thank you for this tutorial!! im making a lot of deco for my daughters 15th bday party and these are def. going to be some that i try!!

Cute little flowers. Thanks for the "show how". Would suggest using good ventilation and wearing a mask. Fumes from melting plastic are a health risk.

[cutnieves]

That is Sooo Beautiful! I was just amazed to see how simple it seems and the beautiful flowers that you can make!!! Great Job!

I get 10 cents back for every pop bottle, so i used a milk jug instead :p it wasn't as clear or as delicate looking, but it worked very well. i made 2!
