Crafty Idea

I made this for my front porch yesterday and thought I should share with all of you creative people! It looks cool twirling around in the wind.

I need to improve on it, I know I can do better on the design and the bumps in the middle are where beads were on top of the others. I saw the instructions on facebook. You just melt plastic craft beads at 400 degrees for almost an hour (instructions said 30-40 minutes but the beads weren't all melted). While it was still warm, I stuck the point of a sharp knife in it to make a hole for the ribbon (instructions said to drill a hole).

It would be a fun project for kids to design their own. It did not hurt the pan and it came right out.

This is so beautiful and I would love to try this myself sometime. Wonderful pair of images to celebrate your creative success too. :)

This is very clever, and is very effective. We have plastic beads from when the kids were young, and you place them on a grid, cover with cooking paper, and then iron them until they melt together.
