Look around your trash - for empty plastic bottles. A strong pair of
kitchen shears (not your good sewing shears) can be used to cut the
plastic into various shapes. I often find that I can get exactly what I
want - like the inside of a bill for a baseball cap, or the bottom of a
tote bag or purse - from a liquid detergent bottle or an empty bleach
bottle. Mark the plastic with a Sharpie, then cut in the longest,
smoothest strokes you can. That reduces the amount of tidying up to do.
