3. Place 2 sheets of parchment paper on either side of plastic layers. It is best to keep the printed designs on the inside

4. Set the iron to rayon. When hot, keep the iron moving. You will need to play with the timing to find best results.
5. After you are done with one side flip it over and
repeat on the other side.

This is SOOOOO cool! I've been wanting to learn how to do this...thanks for posting the instructions. :-)
(Have you seen where people cut the plastic bags in a spiral and then crochet/knit the strips?...it's a neat re-use process...I'll see if I can find an online link.)
