Heat reactives

We stock a number of heat reactive products.

Friendly Plastic - Comes in strips in all sorts of colours and designs. When heated - either in very hot water or with a heat gun- it can be merged with neighbouring pieces to form a glorious decorative shape. Useful as an embellishment for cards, textiles, clothing and jewellery. 

Shrink Plastic -  Is great fun. It is a sheet of thin thermoplastic which, when heated with a heat gun or in the oven, will shrink to 40% of its original size, whilst getting thicker. Before heating it can be cut into shape, punched with a hole for earrings, and coloured.
