Pony beads are a classic childhood art project. Whether you ironed them into a shape, glued them to a frame, or made bracelets for all ten of your best friends, these beads were inescapable. In Melted Pony Bead Art, these fun childhood projects are replaced with new classics. From suncatchers to pendant necklaces, this book will take those forgotten pony beads and turn them into precious keepsakes.
The cover of the book illustrates an amazing cake stand, one that you may not believe is made with these beads. The tutorial for this is on page 24, and is much simpler than I first imagined. All you need is a cake pan, pony beads, a candlestick, and glue. It's that simple! Something like this would make a beautiful housewarming gift, or a gorgeous and thoughtful wedding present. Paired with a clear cover, this is one beautiful craft that will have everyone asking, "where did you buy that?"
Friendly for the whole family, this book has an adorable craft that is perfect for kids. On page 28 is the "Wands" pattern. This adorable star wand will bring a smile to any little girl's face, and is perfect for dress up and for a Halloween costume! Made using a cookie cutter, this is just the jumping off point for this project. Use different shapes, different beads, and different colors of paint and ribbons to make this a gift your little girl will love.
