Not confusing.......fusing!

Today was a wealth of experimental wonder! Children aged from 5 to 13 explored the skill of fusing papers and plastics to create whole books based on themes and colours.

To try this at home you will need an iron, greaseproof paper, plastic wallets or freezer/sandwich bags and a variety of threads, papers, fabric scraps and feathers. Arrange the items in the bag or wallet, making pictures or patterns. Place between two layers of greaseproof paper and iron to fuse. It's kind of like cheap laminating but nicer because the effects are less predictable.

If you are young, do not use an iron without an adult!!!!!!!!!!!!
