Arranging

Baking

- Once preheated, place your dish in the oven for about 20-30 minutes.
- Watch closely as the beads melt and fuse together, transforming into a solid piece.
Cooling

Hanging
- Cut a length of metal wire or string.
- Create a small loop to thread through a hole or add on top for hanging.
Notes
Customize colors and shapes to reflect your style. Consider using cookie cutters for shapes and create mini suncatchers for smaller spaces.
