Friendly Plastic

One time when I was in Value Village, I found a plastic sack full of friendly plastic. I haven't used it before but I just couldn't let it stay there. Then today I was at a thrift shop and found a electric skillet that had never been used and I thought about that plastic. I bought the skillet and I am now thinking that maybe I can make some shawl pins out of the friendly plastic and have been looking for ideas. I am not sure that the plastic will be strong enough for the pins. So I am going to just give it a try and see what happens. Has anyone out there is internet land ever used friendly plastic to make shawl pins? Or let me know if you think it is possible.
