Bottle caps

[wombatie]

Terry (my hubby) and I had watched a YouTube video on melting plastic milk bottle caps to make chopping boards.  Anyway when we had finished we realized there where too many little air bubbles and it would not be any good for chopping boards.  So after looking at it for a few days I decided I could make Christmas ornaments for a couple of friends that had collected some caps for us.  It was sooooooooooo easy to cut, it was like cutting butter.

Marg,

What a colorful piece.

How do you melt them?

Does it smell when you melt them or cut them?

We melted them in the oven but I have read that you can melt them in a sandwich press, just not sure how thick you could make them in a press though.
No they did not smell
