Create vibrant melted bead suncatchers using pony beads and simple supplies — perfect for summer fun, home décor, or kids’ crafts!

Ingredients

Scale

1 pack translucent plastic pony beads (variety of colors)

1 metal muffin tin or baking mold

1 sheet of aluminum foil or a metal baking sheet

1 piece of fishing line, string, or ribbon (for hanging)

1 drill or nail (for making holes)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F in a well-ventilated area. Line a baking sheet with foil and place molds. Add pony beads in a single, even layer. Bake for 20–25 minutes until fully melted. Cool completely, then drill a hole for hanging. Thread ribbon or line and display in sunlight.
