Barb Wire Wrapped Heart Necklace

Great idea

Love the idea to use pony beads

im doing this as we speak ;)
im making one for me, my cousin, and one for my friend's birthday!
i will post a version
God bless XD

What temp was it at, and it just came out of the cookie cutter no problem?

just put it back in oven and once melted i scraped the cutter clean.... I wont be doing that again! any tips?

Love this soooo much, so I had a go.... how did you stop the beads sticking to the cutter? I cant get mine off!
Thanks

WOW I would have neve thought of this... looks so good too! Thanks Im def. gonna try this one!

:O!
you always have the best ideas!
nice

WOW such an original idea (:
LOVE IT <3

This is GORGEOUS!!! Another well made craft object and good explained how-to. Can't wait to make one of my own...

I love this! What a great idea!

maybe for those who had it stick to the cutter, spray a little Pam in the cutter first? i had a problem similar to this when making candles for a project in high school.

This is really clever and I like how it looks.

OMGEEZ that is cooooooooooooooool i love it

that is too cute...i love it...

Woah thats amazing!!! I never thought to use pony beads like that!

That came out really nice. I would have never thought to melt my beads down like this... or to make my own barbed wire... which could be quite useful for other projects. I can't wait to get some cookie cutters and try this!

This is great!

Wow!This is so awesome!
I necer thought of melting pony beads before
xx

wow wow wow! *Faves* Its really pretty *_*

Nope, it popped out nice and cleanly!

Does this mess up your cookie cutter?

Way cool. I wouldn't have thought to melt pony beads
. Thanks Artist7464

this is so awsome

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!

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!

This is cleverrr Cat
Happy Valentines Day xx

i love this!!!!!

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Gorgeous!! I <3 it!!

hey cat thanks for the idea!me encanta!! now i know what todo with all my pony beads

Wow, think of all the potential variations on this theme! I should be on the look out for cool shaped metal cookie cutters...

this gives me an idea on what to do with all the pony beads i have lying around! thanks!

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.

i love this...it is kind of how i feel about valentines day!

This is soooo awesome! Thanks!

This is soooooooooooooooo cool!!!! *________* Just one question....did you melted down beads at any specific temp?

Cool! I have so many pony beads I don't know what to do with them... but know I do! Thx

Cat:
This is amazing! I am sure Alicia will LOVE it! I have been trying to figure out some more things to make for Valentines day. Thanks for sharing this great idea. (I love anything with barb wire)
