Material Samples (left:2 layer bubble wrap, right:8 layer plastic bags)
Inspired by a video [1] and blogpost [2] of bjornsteinar.
Material: plastic bags or bubble wrap
Tools: iron and baking paper
Steps
Place material between two sheets of baking paper.
Iron single sheets as the shrinking is quite drastic and not really predictable (if material ruptures or holes are forming, try reducing the temperature).
Fuse pre-ironed sheets together to create thicker, stronger material or extend the material dimensions.
Optionally imprint their textures to the surface by using fabrics or perforated metal plates.

Styrofoam
Mostly polystyrene, "expanded polystyrene", short EPS
Dissolvable in Acetone (but that's kinda nasty and not exactly healthy
Our shredder can't deal with PET, it's too tough. But we have been collecting quite a bit of them (those without deposit on them). So what could we do with those?
PET Strings
There are special bottle cutters to cut PET bottles into strings
