Our melted pony bead flowers are fun to use for all kinds of accessory projects, and we love finding new ways to add them in our collection. Who wouldn’t want a colorful strand of whimsical melted pony bead flowers dangling around their neck? I KNOW! It’s a no-brainer. You need to make this project! Keep reading, girl……and turn the over on and get the plastic beads out! This is a cute little necklace is made with the help of a small drill, jump rings, and a simple chain. With a little help from an adult, these are super easy and fun projects for sleepovers, parties, and snowed-in days!
Let’s Do This: Melted Pony Bead Necklace!
Follow directions for making pony bead flowers (here).
Using a small drill bit (we used 5/64), make a small hole in a petal of each flower.
Add jump rings to each flower, and evenly space them on the chain.
**We buy chain by the foot and cut it to fit for necklaces and bracelets. Attaching a lobster clasp for a closure is easy, and it’s much cheaper to make your own necklaces and bracelets to the specific length you need!
That’s it! Super easy, super cute! Have fun with these amazing little gems…..the possibilities are endless and you have everything you need right in that little craft cabinet.
Hi there. I make these and use them for suncatchers. My question is are you just putting them in a muffin tin to make the flowers you’re using for hair clips? I mean just by making the flower design and not filling the entire tin with beads? How does it retain it’s shape without melting into a blob? Thanks!
Hey Kari! They maintain the flower shape if you just use one bead for the center and place the “petals” around the center bead. I usually place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and they maintain their shape just fine! I’ve made suncatchers too, but I use the transparent beads for those and place them in a muffin tin (like you) and I fill the bottom of the tin. I hope that makes sense! Give it a shot – they are fun to make and I use them on clippies, necklaces, bracelets, etc. – Cyndi
