Melted bead wind chime


what you need
• beads
• muffin tin
• coil closures for bracelets or necklaces
• Clear string. We used bead n stretch
• nail polish or crazy glue to secure the knots
• and either nail clippers or wire cutters to cut off the excess coil after your beads are done melting.
• you're also going to need something to tie your finished melted beads to. We had an old winter time that I took part and just put back together with our new parts. You might be able to use a coke can or one of the wooden rings from needlepoint. Get creative.
What to do
1. First you can align the bottom of your muffin tin pan with the single layer of beads
2. Then you're going to add one of those little coils near the top but not too close to the top
3. Once you have all tins filled put them in the oven at 400 degrees leave in for 25 to 30 minutes 


4. Take out and let cool hang out and let cool the plastics released from the bottom of the pan on its own.
5. Once cool remove and cut off the excess coils. 


6. Assemble your wind chime reinforce your knots with crazy glue or nail polish.
