Thank you CissyT! There are many videos on Youtube how to iron plastic bags, and once you've done that, you can do what ever you like - paint them, stitch, (or both like I did), cut to shapes,etc. If you'd like a tutorial on these, please visit my blog and remind me of that, that's the only place I could post a tutorial. Thanks! :)
