We heat a green bottle cap, then use a wire ,, fork tool,, to pick up a small amount of plastic and start winding it. As we do this the plastic stretches into a very thin thread.

We wrap melted plastic from the cap around a wire , forming the handle.

We pull and stretch the plastic shaping it as needed.
