Plastic-man Hong

On our trip to Japan last December, Hazuki was nice enough to buy a few packs of these DIY kits called Pla-ban, which are very common in Japan as an activity for school kids.

I was quite curious about them and finally got time to test them out, (we just got an oven in our dept) results as below!

Each packet has a few sheets of plastic and key rings. The plastic sheets are yellow here becasue this kit is supposed to be special Glow-in-the-Dark sheets! You just need to use permament markers to draw the desired shape and then pop it in the oven for a few minutes and *Bish*, it magically morphs into this hard 3D shaped plastic which you can attach the key ring to!

Here are the results of my experiments! The bumblebee/dog shape was originally of the size in b/w! It shrank to about 1/4 of the original size.

This one looks way better, think it was because of the circular shape. I like this one.

Showed my colleagues and they are quite interested in ordering this in bulk as a activity for our events, so went to the website listed on the package but it's filled with incomprehensive Japanese, bah!
