Melty Bead Bowls

Melty Bead Bowls. Get excited. These are super easy. Super fast. And way fun!

Remember Perler Beads? Or melty beads as I liked to call them? You would arrange them on a pegboard, and then iron them to get them to melt together into some shape you created. Sound familiar?

Well I saw this post on pinterest the other day that used melty beads to make a bowl and I knew I'd have to try it out!

All you need is some oven safe bowls, oil, and melty beads (oh, and an oven would help too!)

Step 1: Grease bowls (bottom and sides) so the beads will stick

Step 2: Pour beads into bowl and spread around. Try to not leave too many open spaces. I found it helpful to do the bottom first and work your way up to the sides.

Step 3: Bake at about 240 degrees - peek in often!

Step 4: When everything looks stuck together and melty, they are probably done! Let them cool.

Step 5: Once cool take them out! I used a fork to poke mine out - and then rinsed with water to get rid of the oil.

Step 6: Find something cool to put in your new bowls! Enjoy!
