Transforming Dollar Store Finds into Oven-Melted Art

Hey Hey, Crafty Friends!

Ever have one of those days where your mind is spinning with a whirlwind of creative energy? Well, that's exactly what's happening here at Crafty World Entertainment! We're all about keeping up with the kids and turning ordinary into extraordinary. Today, I'm thrilled to share a fun and colorful project that you can easily do at home: melting fuse beads using the oven!

.

On a recent adventure through the aisles of Dollar Tree, I stumbled upon these adorable little metal trays shaped like hearts and butterflies. They even came with strings to hang them up, but for our crafty purposes, I snipped those off so they'd be safe to place into the oven.

For our first project, we decided to create a dazzling rainbow design. We filled the metal tray with beads, arranging them in a classic rainbow theme—because who doesn't love a splash of color? Next, we took a mixture of beads and filled up the heart tray to create a beautiful, vibrant medley mosaic.

Now, here comes the fun part! We placed both trays into the oven, set at 375°F, and let the magic happen for about 20 minutes. Watching the beads slowly melt and fuse together is like witnessing a mini masterpiece come to life!

Want to see the process in action? Check out our video to get a closer look at how it's done! It's a fantastic activity to do with the family, and the results are simply delightful.

Remember, the best part about crafting is to let your imagination run wild. You can experiment with different shapes, colors, and patterns—the possibilities are endless!

Stay crafty and keep creating! Crafty World Entertainment- Miranda🌈🎨
