Jonathan's posted a short instructional video demonstrating a simple way to make a handsome plastic snail out of a cocktail stirrer by melting it over a candle-flame. I'm sure the fumes are no fun, but you gotta suffer for your art. Link (Thanks, Jonathan!)

Since the plastic isn't burning, there shouldn't be much fumes produced.
