Pony Bead Bowl

This is a really fun craft to do with kids.. or not :)  This can also be modified to make Christmas ornaments, jewelry, etc.  This was the first time I had attempted the bowl.  It's fairly easy.

What you'll need

Pony beads
Aluminum foil
Round cake pan
An oven-safe dish
 
Step 1

Line the bottom of a cake pan with aluminum foil.  Pour pony beads in the pan until they fully cover the bottom of the pan.

Step 2

Put the pan in the oven at 400 degrees for 30 minutes (or until melted).

Step 3

Let cool and remove the foil.  Take disk (it can still be slightly warm..) and place over a foil-covered dish.  Place dish with the pony bead disk on top on a cookie sheet (or back in cake pan) and place back into oven.  

Step 4

As the beads melt again they will droop over the bowl.  When it has formed to your liking, remove and let cool. 

Ta-da!
