I'd read that it was possible to melt Hama beads in the oven to create flat, rounded beads... I was very intrigued and I wondered how it would work with the mini Hama beads.

Here's my first attempt at making a melted mini Hama bead bracelet.

You Will Need (5 things)

  • Silk jewellery Thread
  • Baking Tray
  • Oven Mitts
  • Oven
  • Hama Beads (Mini)

Steps (4 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Lay your Hama beads out on a baking tray. As you can see, they don't all need to sit flat as they will melt into a round shape, regardless of their position.

  2. 2

    Once the oven has reached temperature, put in your tray of Hama beads. It won't take long for them to start melting and flattening down - probably about 2 minutes. As you can see, the beads that were placed on their side, also melted standing on their sides. Cool!

  3. 3

    Take the melted beads out of the oven and leave them to cool.

  4. 4

    Finally thread them onto some silk thread and knot it into a loop so that it's just wide enough to fit over your hand.
