I just wanted to add a couple of notes to your instructions: Yes, the stretchy kind of bags you get at Target can work too- other sites doing similar projects have used those and even like them because they are more sturdy. But since they are a different quality plastic than the kind shown here you may not want to mix them together- do a Safeway bag, and a Target bag separately or something. :) The other thing to remember is to be sure you do this somewhere with tons of ventilation. Open all the windows in the room you're working on, blow a fan, or do it outside; treat it as you would painting a room with really smelly paint. When you melt this plastic it releases lots of nasty toxic fumes so you want to avoid doing it around children or in an enclosed space!
