Poly-Boil: Pickle Jacket



I usually shy away from using polyester since it doesn't feel or breath like natural fiber, however, I recently experimented with boiling it to achieve a bumpy texture for my pickle jacket and it worked fantastically. All you need are a ton of marbles, rubber bands and a large piece of poly (shrinks to half the size)



Tie up the marbles anywhere you want using the rubber bands, then drop into boiling water for about 30 seconds. Untie the marbles and let dry, poly can shrink around any shape so experiment with whatever's lying around!
