Wow! so I can finally let you all know .....

I HAVE A NEW MACHINE!!!

I'm so excited.
Its a baby injection machine. I'm hoping, that in the future, I'll be able to take her to markets and you'll be able to have a go.

How good would that be!

For now though I need to do some playing and figure out all the ins and outs and make sure we are truely ready.

"Make your own recycled plastic product"
"Save some plastic from landfill"
Lots of ideas for marketing. But im definitely open to hearing what you think.

Also she will need a name. But we'll leve that for stories another time.

I'm making something new and this is what its made from.

The colours.....
Yellow - High calcium milk bottle lids
Light Green - Trim milk bottle lids
Red - Cream bottle lids
White - laundry detergent/bodywash bottles

I sort the lids, wash the lids, then shred them up. I then create some lovely colourful mixed.
And squeeze that through my injection machine.
I cant wait to show you what Ive made.

Anyone know what the purple lids come from?
