No problem everyone. I just set my cooker to the highest possible heat and used that to melt it down, it does have to be very hot for the beads to melt - my microwave oven just isn't up to the job.

hey cat i i dont have any pony beads so i was just wondering any type of beads are okay right?

11 Feb 03:29

Any cheap plastic beads should melt well, even if they're opaque, just make sure they're plastic.

aaaw I should have done the val's day swap!!! haha cat this is so clever!

12 Feb 19:56

cat never ever do this in a microwave! tin foil, metal cutter, metal eye let KA BLEEEWWWY!?

12 Feb 20:13

Noooooo definitely not in a microwave, did you do that?

12 Feb 20:31

hahaha no but you mentioned how your microwave was not up for it so I got a bit worried! I once put a cornetto in the microwave for a few seconds to melt it a bit and didn't think the wrapper would do much harm but its like metalic paper, the blue flashes were scary! I'm scared of microwaves anyway lol

12 Feb 20:53

Ahhh no, it's a combo microwave / oven / grill, but the oven bit on that wouldn't go hot enough. I should have made that clearer.

That is so cool! I have melted the jewel colored pony beads but it didn't turn out like I wanted to. I have a heart mold and I will try using the jewel colored beads in red and see what happens!
Great Tut!

What a great idea! I tried this last night and it worked like a charm. I used those tri-point beads that are sold right next to the pony beads at the craft store and they worked perfect! I had the oven at 450 degrees. I spread out the beads evenly and cooked for about eight minutes. Then, I opened the oven a put a few more beads inside each heart, adn cooked for another six minutes. My hearts were nice and thick this way.

Thanks for posting such a great idea!

Can i say DEFINATLY SPREAD THEM OUT!! Because last night i made it and it stuck REALLY bad to the Cookie cutter, there was no way to get it off so i had to throw it away.. and it was new as well :'( ALSO MAKE SURE THE MOULD ISNT PLASTIC TOO lol. Im really stupid! :(
