Hama Beads


Materials
  • Hama beads
  • Ovenproof bowl
  • A little oil
  • Kitchen towel paper

  • Method
  • Use an ovenproof bowl that you want to replicate with your beads.



  • Pour in a little oil and wipe around with some kitchen towel paper. This will help the beads stick to the sides of the bowl and slip out easily after they have melted.
  • Pour some Hama beads into the bowl and spread around the bottom. It's important that all the beads touch each other.



  • Pour some more beads in and spread around the sides of the bowl. The oil will help them stick on. It's a little fiddly making sure you have filled the gaps but it's worth the patience.



  • Older kids could try and make a design with the colours but it looks great multi coloured too.
  • Place the bowl in the oven at 200 degress for 10 minutes.
  • Check on melting progress on a regular basis.
  • When the beads at the top have started to sag a little, you will know that the rest of the beads have also softened and melted together.



  • Take the bowl out of the oven and leave to cool.
  • Once cool, gently slip the melted bead bowl out of the ovenproof bowl.
