Valentine's Day Bead Craft Decoration

It's still January but Valentines day is right around the corner and Chloe just couldn't wait any longer to make some Valentines day crafts. So lets see what Chloe and her mommy are up to.

Valentine's Day Bead Craft Decoration

These turned out better than Chloe's mommy thought they would! So easy and fun. We make them the same way as the Bead Wind Mobile (Spinner) Ok Here we go!

Here is what you will need:

Valentines colored beads, heart shaped silicone cooking tray, heart cookie cutter shapes or what ever shape you would like to use.

Now fill all the cookie cutters and silicone tray with what ever color beads you wish.

Time to bake.

Bake at 400f for around 25 min.

Mommy stayed right by the oven to make sure they didn't over cook. 

TIP: Chloe's mommy would recommend closing off the rest of the house and opening up doors/windows in the area the lead outside to clear out the plastic smell that the beads give off while melting. Chloe also stayed in her room till her mommy called her out. The smell goes away really fast.

They turned out just right! Now it's time so take them out of the cookie cutters.

Oh how pretty the look! They make Chloe's heart fill with love!

Mommy drilled holes, put fishing wire on and Chloe put on the beads. There you have it! Chloe gave some to her friends so they could enjoy them as well.

They look really nice moving in the wind outside and in Chloe's window in her room.

Chloe hopes you will be able to make these with your mommy or family member soon!

Bead Wind Mobile (Spinner) or Suncatcher

Well it is the middle of winter here and Chloe made this over last summer but mommy didn't get a chance to post it. So Chloe thought it should be posted to warm up a cold winter day.

Bead Wind Mobile (Spinner)

Here is what you will need: 

Bags of beads (you can get a bag of different colors at the dollar store)

Old mini muffin tin and 8" or 9" pie plate/pan or any shape pan (Chloe's mommy got both of ours at the ARC thrift store)

That's it!

Chloe and mommy used egg crates to separate the colors, it looks like a rainbow!

Looks like Chloe is ready to go. Mommy placed the pans on the cookie sheet so if any beads were dropped they would fall on the cookie sheet and be easy to get.

Here we go!

Chloe wanted to work on the mini muffin tin first. We placed the beads in hole side up filling the bottom of the tin. Some with just different colors other in a flower pattern. They turned out very cute.

Now Chloe works on her plate, she puts all kinds of pretty colors down.

Mommy made some flowers and a bright sunny sky. Now they are ready for the oven.

Time to bake.

Bake at 400f for around 25 minutes.

Mommy stayed right by the oven keeping an eye on them, she took a quick peek in the oven to see how they are doing and it looks like they are about halfway there.

TIP: Chloe's mommy would recommend closing off the other doors in the house and opening the doors in the general area to let the plastic smell get out. Chloe also stayed in her room till mommy called her out that they were done. 

Here they are all done and cooled! How cool is this!

Chloe couldn't wait to see how they turned!

It was great they just popped right out!

Chloe thought the little baby flowers were so pretty.

Here goes nothing! Very cool, Chloe looked looking through it.

Now to take out mommy's, her turned out pretty as well.

She just loved looking into the light to see the colors.

She couldn't stop playing with them and looking at the patterns.

Here they are all ready for holes and hanging up.

Mommy drilled holes at the top and bottom of the big ones and one in the little ones.

Ribbon time cut different lengths and tie on the little ones.

Tie to the big one and it is ready to put out!

There you have it! Chloe thinks it turned out super!

Hope you will all try this fun easy craft out yourselves.
