DIY MELTED BEAD SUNCATCHER
SUPPLIES NEEDED TO MAKE A BEADED SUNCATCHER CRAFT
Round baking pan
Aluminum foil
Translucent pony beads
Your outdoor grill!
(Optional) Something to drill a hole
(Optional) hanging thread or wire
(Optional) suction cup hook to hang in window
DIRECTIONS TO MAKE A BEADED SUNCATCHER CRAFT
STEP 1
Use the aluminum foil to line your baking pan. This makes it much easier to remove the suncatcher when finished, and helps keep your pan from getting damaged.
STEP 2
Arrange the beads in the pan so that they are flat on their side. We made a rainbow pattern for one suncatcher, and then just added the beads randomly for the other.
There are so many possibilities!
STEP 3
Once the beads are arranged, place the pan on the rack of your grill outside. Heat on high for five minutes, then check it. It will be ready once all the beads have melted, but you don’t want to let it sit too long.
STEP 4
When all the beads have melted, remove it from the heat and allow to cool completely. Lift the foil out of the pan and peel it away from your suncatcher.
STEP 5
Drill a hole in the top, loop through string or wire and hang it from your window!
IS HEATING PONY BEADS TOXIC?
The internet is a little mixed on whether heating pony beads is toxic. When you melt them in the oven or toaster oven, you will get a strong toxic-like plastic smell. It is one of the reasons why we really like doing this outside with good ventilation so any fumes coming off the pony bead melting process are not stuck in your house.
You can also try making melted bead suncatcher custom shapes.
