WARNING; Before doing this I did a little research and found that you should not melt plastic beads in the oven as toxic fumes will result.
ONLY do this if you have an outside oven.

Such a simple idea for the kids to make as home-made presents for friends and family

Wow. That is so pretty. I have never seen this before or knew that you could made it. A great idea to try especially using a shaped tin or small tins.
