I love making melted pony bead projects, but kept getting frustrated with the beads moving on the cookie sheet (any tips will be appeciated). I experimented with tin cookie cutters and was very pleased with the outcome.

Description

I love making melted pony bead projects, but kept getting frustrated with the beads moving on the cookie sheet (any tips will be appeciated). I experimented with tin cookie cutters and was very pleased with the outcome.

Instructions

  1. Pre-Heat Oven to 400 Degrees

  2. Cover cookie sheet with tin foil.

  3. Place cookie cutter on cookie sheet and fill with beads. Place the beads in the cutter flat. I put some beads on side to fill in gaps when I could. Melting process should take care of the gaps Bake for 20 minutes. Repeat for about 5 minutes if the beads don't spread enough to fuse.

  4. Remove from oven and let cool for 3-5 minutes.

  5. Remove from cookie cutter

  6. Decorate with fabric paint if needed. I used black and brown beads for angel so there was no painting involved. Let dry

  7. Glue large jump ring to back. (You can use anything for a hanger)
