In brief

Questions & answers

How much plastic is needed for one block?

About 2 milk bottles and half a dozen bottle caps.

Description from the creator

Turning old milk jugs and bottle caps into useable stock for making. In this short video I process a 2 milk bottles and about half a dozen bottle tops into a 1 1/2" x 2" x 5" turning block.

You just as easily press this into sheet material for use in box inlays or scroll saw art. The possibilities are endless. The total processing time was under an hour from bottle to blank! Less than waiting for a glue up.

The result is a stunningly colorful blank!
