DIY Melted Beads Crafts and Accessories are so much fun to make! My girls love making hair accessories and handmade jewelry with them and also they make the cutest party favors and handmade gifts… Take a look!
Have you ever made accessories with melted beads? They are so fun and easy to do!
During the weekend we made some melted bead jewelry and a few bookmarks.
My girls could not stop making their own earrings and seriously this is so affordable that
you don’t feel bad when they lose them.
Look how cute they look… So fun!
If you have never melted beads before let me tell you, this is a 15 minute project.
You can make a ton of jewelry, bookmarks, hair clips, and even magnets for under $5.
MATERIALS
Color Pony Beads – Find them HERE
Parchment Paper – Find It HERE
Optional: Toaster Oven – Find It HERE
TUTORIAL
The first thing you want to do is preheat your toaster oven at 425 degrees F.
While the toaster oven heats up place a baking parchment paper on top of a cookie sheet.
Make the shapes placing your beads to your like.
Have fun mixing colors and playing with different combinations.
You can see below what the beads look like before and after melting.
The flowers will take 10 minutes to melt. The earrings will take between 8 to 10 minutes.
Important: This is an OUTSIDE project.
Plug you toaster oven outside and play in your backyard!
Update: Some of my readers have shared that they have melted the beads in a gas grill outside and it worked. So there you have two clever options to melt the beads out of the kitchen.
Brilliant idea!
Here is how the single beads look after melting.
After the melted beads have cooled down pull them out.
You can create a bunch of things with them.
We made hair clips…
…bookmarks
…and my favorite, the earrings and rings.
Simply glue the backs to the melted beads.
UPDATE: I have a reader that suggested to use E3000
or a similar epoxy glue for a stronger bond,
that way they won’t fall apart.
Do the same to make the ring…
These accessories make the cutest party favors and gifts.
Assemble them in a small tag and give them for birthday and Christ.mas presents
You even have time to make them for Easter Baskets.
My girls and their friends love them!
And I love them too…
Thank you for the visit my friends… Have a colorful day!

Is the outdoor grilling and toaster oven because of the heating of the plastic & the fumes from the plastic?
Yes, that’s the main reason.
I’m so excited to try this with the girls I nanny! I am curious as to why this should be done outside? I’d love to do this with them during these winter months!
My girls did the same thing with Lifesavers and sucker sticks. We’ll have to try this with the dozens of beads all over the house. Maybe I’ll be able to vacuum again without sucking up those crazy beads. 🙂
I have three girls so I know the feeling of picking up small little things everywhere!
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Can you use a regular oven inside?
Yes, but the smell is super strong.
The flowers would make cute refrigerator magnets.
Oooo… SO CUTE! Thanks for sharing! I am going to make this with my niece. Just too bad we don’t own a toaster oven. Looks like that table fan will come in handy to blow the smell away?
Wow they are so creative and really cute

can i put them in my regular oven ( not a gas oven)?
Nancy, you can. The smell is super strong though. So make sure you open your windows while baking them.
If you don’t have a toaster oven or grill, can you use oven?
You can but the smell will be really strong inside of your home. Make sure to leave the room and open the windows while you are doing it.
