 DIY  Christmas Ornaments 

made with melted Pony beads. 

• Clear or colored  Pony Beads
• Cookie Cutters
• Fishing Line

• Arrange your cookie cutters on a flat pan lined with aluminum foil. Then fill your cookie cutters with beads. Then using a toaster oven or oven bake at 450 for 8 to 12 minutes or until beads melt. Let Col . Then unmold and hang with line or ribbon. 

Tips for Baking: 

• Melt the pony beads in a toaster oven OUTSIDE or on your porch so you don’t smell up your house.
• Have a designated baking sheet for melting beads – pick one up at the dollar store for future projects.
• Always use metal cookie cutters.  Plastic cookie cutters will…well….melt or burn. Yuck.
• We used clear pony beads, but any kind of pony bead will do.
• Do a VERY THIN layer of beads in the cookie cutter. If you put too many inside the cookie cutter, you will NOT be able to pop the ornament out of the cookie cutter when it dries.
