Ten Second Pillow

Make a Glad-Bag pillow with only a soldering iron, baking paper, zip-lock bag, a pen, scissors, and a paper clip. Feel free to play the MacGuyver theme in the background.

Step 1 Get your stuff

Materials: Zip-lock bag, baking paper, soldering iron, scissors, paper clip, and a sharpie.

This is a simple adaptation of another instructable, that was a little confusing and I couldn't find it.

Step 1: Mark a line across the top of the zip-lock bag, about an inch under the lock. In the middle of the bag, put two vertical lines from the top of the bag to the line you just drew. They should be about 1/2 an inch apart, and should form a hot-water-bottle shaped neck.

I tried this and my soldering iron melted right through the bag. any tips or am I just heating the iron up to much?

Would probably work with plastic tarps too for making larger inflatable structures. Use 3 mil+ for things that need durability.

personally, i like the idea (since it is a foundation for so many other potential ideas) anyways inform us all when you start making that inflatable couch (if, in the end, i build it first! but otherwise its a good idea for plastic which embeds air) anyways, would you suggest certain "patterns" we can all use so we can ensure that its a good fit? like, just say you did an "x" stitch to make it more stable. do you think thats possible? otherwise, good ideas.

Use garbage bags! one bag sealed was able to hold my own weight (130 pounds) with no problem. didn't even stretch. Im talking the glad black garbage bags. I think someone should make a fricken cough out of 5-6 of em!

I think i would just blow up a zip lock bag and lay on it. without going throuhg all this.
