Some of the plastics give off noxious, chemical fumes that students shouldn't be inhaling. This project might be a good one to do in a small group of teachers for a workshop or department meeting.<br />Cynthia S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501308597522720818.post-75775537861279867152011-08-23T13:20:02.884-05:002011-08-23T13:20:02.884-05:00But such a cool idea...see now I am thinking as a ...But such a cool idea...see now I am thinking as a project for my 4 kids to do for gifts not as a classroom project!victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287467246976904271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501308597522720818.post-37857172691607902852011-08-23T10:29:59.985-05:002011-08-23T10:29:59.985-05:00There are a lot of melted bowls on craftster, I re...There are a lot of melted bowls on craftster, I really like the army guy ones http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=187014.0<br />Have you make record bowls? they are pretty quick and easy, they might work better in the classroom.Crafterellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03516934787958774001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3501308597522720818.post-26010570626540009392011-08-23T06:23:09.381-05:002011-08-23T06:23:09.381-05:00@ Phyl...OH!!!

I know what you are talking about...never used them..but know what they are. <br />@ Hannah...the veggie oil helped to stick them in place(kind of).

Was it just a shallow bowl... or did the veggie oil help it stick?

I recognized the beads because my son loved them when he was young. You made a design with them on a little pegboard, and then put a release paper on top, and ironed over it to melt them together. As a parent it was always a pain ironing these things, and we had them hanging in the windows everywhere for a while. <br /><br />Anyhow, like I said, I tried it myself and it took a while to melt in the oven but came out pretty cool, but I agree, this is not a project for school. First, it takes a LOT of beads, and an oven, and just is not practical.Phylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482775924810462890noreply@blogger.com
