Here is another experiment with my heat gun!
These hanging wind spinners are made from plastic plates by heat
shrinking.
Materials:
Large and small plastic plates(some clear and some clear in center and
color on the out side edges).
3/4" split jump rings
Heavy string
Tools:
Heat gun, drill & bits, gloves, and safety glasses
Steps:
1. Lay plastic plate flat with the bottom side up.
2. Apply heat with gun directly to the center of the plate bottom
until a hole develops, then allow hole to open about 1.5" to
2", slowly move heat to the outer portion of the plate causing
the plate to curl and fold as seen in photos..
3. Allow to cool and drill 1/8" hole about 1/4" from plate
edge, spray paint if desired as seen in the second photo(spinners are
just lightly sprayed on both sides).
4. Slide jump ring through hole and tie string to jump ring with half
hitch then tie a loop in the opposite end of string.
5. Hang your unique recycled wind spinner.
