Using  a  cutting  mat,  ruler  and  blade,  cut  a  2inch  section  from  each  color  of  plastic  stick.  

Using  the  scraps  left  over  from  a  marbling  project,  cut  off  the  sides...  and  along  the  top  and  the  bottom  as  shown.

 Place  the  baking  sheet  onto  the  pre-­‐heated  griddle.  

Place  the  2  inch  plastic  strips  onto  the  baking  sheet  and  allow  to  soften.  Decide  on  which  scraps  you  want  to  put  together,  then  position  and  place  them  onto  the  softened  plastic  strips.  Allow  them  to  soften  and  inlay  into  the  base  plastic.

Once  you  are  happy  with  the  inlay  process,  remove  the  pan  from  the  griddle.  Press  the  desired  shape  cutters  into  the  softened  plastic.  Dip  the  cutters  back  into  the  cold  water  after  each  cut.  This  will  prevent  it  from  sticking.  Allow  the  plastic  to  cool.  

Remove  the  cooled  plastic  from  the  pan  and  pop  out  the  cut  shapes.  You  may  need  to  use  a  craft  knife  to  cut  around  each  piece.
