So if this type of plastic is known for leaching styrene…does anyone not worry about that fact that usually happens when polysterene (aka plastic #6) is heated. If you are putting this plastic in the oven, etc., are you not creating the perfect environment to contaminate your home with these scary chemicals?

It sounds like a cool idea…just worried about the chemical reaction that is actually taking place here.

Thanks!

I just tried this with some #6 plastic cups I had left over from a birthday party. They make cute little circles. I am going to have my preschoolers decorate them to make “stained glass” window charms for Mother’s Day. Yippee!!

Want to avoid the fumes? Hot water will shrink this plastic. I discovered this when I reused a salad container to hand wash some clothes. The large container shrank to a flat surface. An idea might be to put it in a freezer zip lock, squish the air out then hold it under some hot water with a spoon.

Can’t wait to try this. Have been saving containers too.
Though am a little apprehensive about using the baking oven….i think i’ll still have to try this.

One question: Can i place something between 2sheets and try and fuse them when i bake? Anybody tried?
