We melt the beads!
With my craft girlfriends today I was busy with ironing beads, you can do more with ironing beads than you think!
We melted the beads to make nice jewelry out of it

You start by putting on the beads and baking tin, put them a little off each other or they will melt together . (unless, of course, you would like to)
preheat the over to 200 degrees Celcius and bake the beads for 3-5 minutes.
Take the beads out of the oven and let them cool down for a while, you now have fun colored flat rings
