Step 3
Wait....wait...wait...
After the initial 11 minutes I kept checking until the holes in the beads had disappeared. In my oven this took nearly 14 minutes.
Take the flower from the oven and let it cool until you can pick it up without burning yourself. Use the emery board to smooth any rough edges.
To Jeri, I'm sorry you have been having trouble with your flowers keeping their shape. The only thing I can think that may be going on is a "hot spot" in your oven. While making some other melted pony bead projects I noticed that some pieces melted much faster than others,always on the same side of the oven. The things in this area melt too fast and are harder to control. I hope this helps. As to putting holes in them..I have successfully reamed a hole using a bead reamer. I tried using a nail to put the hole in the flowers while they were still warm and it doesn't work.
