@brassi100 Thanks;) I think we all home more creativity than cash these days! Glad to help!

can you use a lighter, or hold them over a candle???? I would love to do this but i dont have the money for a heat gun.

[thefrugalcrafter]

@iGrowlAtYou probably, be sure to open a window first in case there are fumes;)

[jomc20]

I am concerned about the plastic giving off dangerous fumes when heated as when I have experimented with heating plastic there was a strong chemical smell?

[thefrugalcrafter]

@jomc20 You should be concerened but there was virtually no smell and I did not get a headache but none the less I'd do it with a window open and a fan on to be safe or do it outside;) It is no worse for the enviroment than how the companies recycle bottles, just be sure to have ventilation;)
