Ideas for leftover vinyl/flash?

Sun May 17, 2015 9:07 pm

For the first and possibly last time I had the pleasure of cutting up sofubi for assembly. I now have a decent size bag of leftover material in various colors. I don't want to just toss it out. Would seem like such a waste. Anyone have any experience using flash for anything else? I was thinking of using it to stuff a resin cast by I think the gases let off by the vinyl would probably destroy the resin at some point. Can it be heated and melted into some kind of shape? I am at a loss but I still think there has to be something fun to do with the scraps.

The only thing I could think of is stuffing the bits into a clear version of the toy.. might give a cool effect with all of the gaps and colours?

But the bigger question is - Did you make your own toy?? Let's see this thing!!

Hmmm that could work. I am still going to try heating it up though. Hard to resist trying something that is such an obviously bad idea.

I make toys occasionally but I don't share them here. I come to SB to see other peoples toys, not my own. I think I'd like to keep it that way.
