Remove all labels from the plastic bottles. Wash and dry the bottles thoroughly to ensure all of the sticky residue is gone.
Cut the plastic bottles into small pieces using scissors. Make the pieces small enough to fit inside the metal container.
Place the pieces of plastic into an oven-safe metal container. To prevent melted plastic from spilling inside the toaster oven, do not overfill the container.
Take the toaster oven outside and heat to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Melt plastic outside in order to avoid overexposure to harmful fumes.
Place the metal container in the toaster oven for three to four minutes. Increase heat in 25 degree intervals until the plastic is completely melted. Different types of plastic have different melting points.
Remove the metal container from the toaster oven using protective gloves or oven mitts once the plastic is completely melted.
Pour the melted plastic into a mold using a wooden stick. Allow the plastic to completely cool before taking it out of the mold.
