Jewelry Art from recycled plastic bags

This is the English version of a video I originally made in Finnish for a seminar.
It shows how I use a flat iron and a soldering iron to make jewelry art from the thin, translucent plastic bags usually found in grocery stores.
Sorry for the bad quality of the video in some places, it was done somewhat on short notice so I only had my crappy phone camera to work with. Hopefully this still manages to give you some idea of what I do.

EDIT: every once in a while there are comments about the dangers of heating plastics. And that is good, because that is important to keep in mind! Thank you for caring about my health :)
Here is a good video with some general background about the dangers of heating different kinds of plastics (I'm using PE and PP, in a well ventilated room and with a mask if needed (working for longer stretches of time or with higher temperatures):
