To melt the beads in the oven is one of the most fun we've made in a long time. Inspired by the blog The Artful Parent , we test with other gems. Come along!
You need big plastic beads, type congo beads and parchment paper. We also used the clips and glue to attach our finished flowers.
1. The principle is simple, the beads are close together on a baking sheet and bake in oven at 225 C for about 10 minutes. I smell the beads is really bad when they melt and it's certainly not very healthy to breathe in the fumes. We recommend the full speed of the fan, open windows, and that the children are in another room.
2nd The beads also melts at different rates, we noticed, for this reason a close eye on the oven all the time. We used beads of different quality and although most were fantastic so we got some "whoops" ...
3rd Let your beautiful flowers cool thoroughly and fix them on such hairpins.
Happy holidays!

Is this harmful? What materials are these beads made of? They could be toxic.
The beads are made of plastic and the they did not smell nice When melted but we kept our windows open and the fan on. They're only in for a short time and the smell did not linger long. I also made sure Freya was not in the kitchen when i melted the beads. The blog I refer to in the mail Distressed Their outdoor grill to melt the beads. Please let me know if you have any other questions and I'll try to answer them as well as I can!
What a fun idea! It will be tested. Did this kind of summer: http://blogg.folkbladet.nu/johannakaffepanna/2012/08/22/vi-ar-vanner-med-varann/
