If some are sideways and some are upright the surface will end up being bumpy. Then use a toothpick to flip them all so they are standing up in the same direction. Pour the pony beads into each of the cookie cutter shapes. I used a round pie plate lined with aluminum foil because it was the only flat pan I have that would fit in my toaster oven. You can experiment and see what you like the best. The opaque beads won’t work as suncatchers, but they will be a bit more visible on the Christmas tree. You can use either clear or opaque pony beads (I used clear ones). I’m a sucker for gimmicks apparently, because somehow I find the copper cookie cutters to be so pretty! I used the new copper cookie cutters I got for the melted peppermint ornaments I made last week.

I can’t find the exact products I used, but here are some affiliate links to similar materials from Amazon that you could use:

*sigh* Check out our video for how to make Melted Bead Ornaments:įor even more melted bead craft ideas check out our posts for: Some sort of fakery I’m sure!” Ha! And sure enough, by the time she got home she looked perfectly fine. My husband talked to the school secretary and when I asked him what was wrong with our daughter, his response was something like, “Oh, I don’t know. Well, mostly… We got a call from the school about an hour before pick up time that my oldest daughter wasn’t feeling well. This is a PERFECT craft to make with the kids! Although, I’ll admit, that for this post, I made these melted bead ornaments while my kids were at school. I was inspired by the wonderful posts over at The Artful Parent. lolīut it was worth it! Look how gorgeous they turned out! I got some bizarre looks from neighbours. So picture me outside wearing my big, black puffy coat (it was really cold outside yesterday), wearing an oven mitt in one hand and holding my camera in the other hand while squatting on my front lawn taking photos of the mysterious toaster oven sitting on my porch. So just to be safe, I took our toaster oven outside onto the front porch and melted the beads where I knew we’d be safe from the plastic vapors. And I’m not an expert, but I think those plastic gases that come out when the beads melt are probably not very good for your health. It was also one of those crafts where I got to feel a little like a crazy person. I could get addicted to making these! Using simple pony beads, you can make cookie cutter shapes, beautiful free handed patterns, sun catchers, or anything you like! They almost look like little stained glass works of art.

These melted bead ornaments are SO MUCH FUN.
