The plastic doesn't melt on the iron?
A good way to reuse a plastic bottle. I could see cutting the bottle at an angle, and spiral cutting the whole bottle, then coil, twist, bend the strip into all kinds of shapes. Then do the iron to "fix" the plastic shape to stay the way you manipulated it.
As far as I know, plastic bottles (I don't mean cosmetic containers) are made from Polyethylene terephthalate, commonly abbreviated PET, PETE. Melting point of Polyethylene terephthalate is > 250°C (482°F; 523 K) en.wikipedia.org/
The maximum heating temperature of an iron is about 205°C.
Thank you for the idea too! :)
