How stinking cool is that!! Who would have thought..... Thanks for sharing such a great idea
I'm utterly speechless. You schooled me today. I will be doing this instead of buying the liquid stuff or packaged dots. I used to wear pony beads in my hair as a child. Goodness. Simply amazing. Thanks for the video. :)
Okay. I couldn't resist. I had to test this out. :0) I decided to start small and purchased some poney beads from the dollar store. These little gems came out oh, so shiny and gorgeous! Asides from the scent they give while in the oven (I think 8 mins. was enough giving a subtle scent) they came out beautiful! Okay. I'm sold. Hooked and convinced these will look great on my projects! Thanks once again. You rock. :0D
Very informative idea, and your son is pretty smart for coming up with an idea on how to get them off the paper.

Corene... I with the crafter who said that she was ignoring these videos....until now...I'm going to walmart today...gonna bake me some enamel dots for lunch!!!! Lol,
Thank you so much for taking the time to explain the process!!!!!
Hugs
Monica
i feel like i've seen quite a few video's on this and i think yours is the best explanation and best video quality to really see the end result. thanks for making this vid! my step daughter wanted to make these but i just wasn't convinced until now! tfs cheri
Thank you for all your videos! You are a talented and patient gal. This will save me a lot of money as they are expensive to purchase.
Are you kidding me!!!!! Thank you for this, I had no idea. Great video. Your a great teacher. Cathy Lee
I was so excited when I found your video that I had to try it right away! I had great success and wanted to tell you that I used Reynolds Non-Stick Parchment paper on my cookie sheets and after cooling for 30 seconds or so, the dots slipped right off of the parchment paper. Thanks again!
I have been searching for an enamel dot DIY. This one is the best! TFS
Thanks for this great video. I went to the Dollar store this morning & brought a bag of Pony beads & a cookie tray. Just got finished making a batch & a they came out awesome. Stephanie
Awesome ty so much for this! Going to a music festival at then end of August and we wanted to deck out our golf cart as we( husband and i) are somewhat of a personality (growing) at the festivals. So I have been making imo the longest fishtail chain made with the rainbow loom to use as garland , and i wanted to make neat ..curtains and hangy things for the cart and our camp site. You have made this venture easy as we have a tub of the shrinky-dinks (perler beads) already and the hot glue gems were a hit and a kiss as I cant afford the fancy more pricey glue sticks. Again ty so much! Spent the last hr sorting out colors... so many little tubes >.< now the oven is preheated...op... preheat..noise...just went off ..And awaaay we go!
corenescreations I have been. Mine keep having dimples in about a 3rd. I found in my who knows hold old oven, I have found 280°f at 40-50 mins gives me the best outcome. Close to 1000 tiny dots. Wish we could still make video replies. Would totally share my outcome
Thanks for the great tutorial. Just made some with the dollar tree beads and they turned out perfect. Who would have thought! They didn't take but 5 -6 mins! Love it.
This is genius. Thank you so much for sharing. I just came across you while searching for Disney scrapbooks and you mentioned that you made the little dots, I then went through all your videos until I found one from you. I'm sooo excited to try this.
I didn't know there was a search feature. I will check it out, Thank you. I went to Micheals last night and bought a bag of beads and tried it out. I did to batches and need to fool around with the temp. My first batch I could still see the center on some and the second batch all my black melted down to much. any suggestions?
hmm great idea. I will do that. It took me so long to decide weather to buy colours I liked or the bulk. My daughter suggested the bulk because it had pretty rainbow colours..lol But I can see what you mean about using up certain colours. I have not been scrapbooking for about 3 yrs, I lost my mom 3 yrs ago and lost my mojo But we recently moved my scrapbook room and I have purged TONS and want to start up and possibly do project life, my own way. Scrap my fav moments and add them to the album. Do you suggest any other youtubers I can watch to get back into it.
Thank you so much for your tutorial! I'm going to give this a try. You have saved me so much money!!

Thanks for your video Corene. I did the Walmart pony beads (like yours in the video), I did the oven at 425°. Had the windows open but didn't notice any odors. I had to do mine longer...some about 18 mins. Mine are not all the same size, but that's ok with me! I'm excited to use them on cards and Project Life pages. Thanks again! ~Tammy~
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial! I have so many pony beads I had purchased years ago for my kids and now I can use them for my cards.
Thank you for this video, I purchased the small beads and it works fabulously, I wanted to make bigger ones but the batch I left in the oven to see if it would spread out a bit more, kind of burned a bit. The Ponny beads are a great idea, thank you so much for sharing your video with the temperatures for the oven and time.
Hello again: I love this DIY ways to save a little money, a big container of those beads will last for a long, long time.
Thank you again for making the video.
Hugs.
275 for 30 minutes and Perlers still not flat. Upped temp to 350 and added about another 15 minutes and that worked. Doing a second batch now.
Thank you for sharing. Very informative and easy to understand.
I got the pearl pony beads, did 425 for 10 min. - perfect! The perler beads never filled in for me and still had the hole after 40 minutes. Wish I could get some variation in size, will look for the mini pony beads. The pony beads definitely smelled up the kitchen. Was so glad there was no smell with the perler beads, but hate to keep wasting beads/time trying to get it to work. Undecided about them at this point...Thank you for sharing the information with us, Corene. With hubby out of work, anything that lets me continue to craft is a godsend!
Peeler beads, 350 for 25-30 minutes.
AWESOME JOB Corene!!! I gotta try it tomorrow!!! Hugs!!
Genius!! So amazing!!
Thnx for passing this along, I can't buy enamel dots where I live, and it looks like u could use em for flower centers too. Yay!
Well darn you Corene I have been trying to ignore the videos of doing this but you've almost convinced me I need to give it a shot (or a melt, lol). Questions, are those Tim Holtz Craft mats you used? Did you try your black Walmart mat? Did it stink bad? How long did it take the odor to leave your house? Did you have to have all the windows open. OK thanks bunches, love that you showed the two different kinds! You use so many of these that it's a fab deal for you. Patti
I have the same questions! Melting anything in the oven scares me a little - OK a lot! I worry about anything being a carcinogen. But then I know the smaller beads are made for melting with an iron into templates. Thanks for sharing - a sure money saver! Julie
Oh WOW !!!!!! I loooooove it !!! I really have to try, because here in France, enamel dots are soooo expensive !! Thank you so much !!!
Hugs
Sabine
OMG! What a GREAT idea. Tedious - yes, but so worth it! I'll have to wait for some warmer weather to do this so I can open some windows, but I am definitely going to give them a try. What a cost savings.
Hugs,
Kris
I am baking my beads as I type this comment. The first batch came out great. Thanks for sharing this video!
Thanks so much for sharing this video Corene! I'd seen a video before on how to do this, but like everyone else has said, yours is clearer and better explained! Also cos i know i can trust you, i gave it a go.....and hey presto, it worked just fab!
Was a little smelly, but that soon went, Thanks again for sharing!
Big crafty hugs, Dee xxx
I followed your video and my enamel dots came out perfect! Thank you so much for this! I had been following other peoples' tutorials and I kept burning mine. Thank you so much! I just subscribed.
Thanks for the vid! I had success with the pony beads but keep burning my perler beads so gonna try low and slow. I've been using parchment but I wonder if I can put my TH mat in? TFS!
Great idea. TFS!! I cannot wait to start scrapbooking\smasbooking again. Yay!!
You have to be kidding! This is so cool. I know what I'm shopping for tomorrow!
Yours turned out really well. I saw some people had issues doing them. I think I might pick some up and give it a try. Was there a lot of smell??
That is such a neat tip! Thanks for the clear instructions and examples. I will definitely do this. Well, off to Wal-Mart. tfs
Thanks for the info! I just picked up a package of 225 perler beads at a garage sale for 25 cents. Makes it very affordable to spend a few minutes melting them!
I have done this with perler beads! I love it!!
VERY COOL... I have a million of these hanging around HOUSE... gotta try it.
I can't believe how expensive these are when it's just melted plastic! Thank you for this :) I'm going to make so many!
Omg, that was awesome running to the store to get some beads. Thank you for sharing!
Hi there, I think these are awesome never used them before and I just found out about them 5 min ago...just wondering what you do with them ? :0)
Hi Corene,
I just sub to your channel. I love all your videos and your awesome smash layouts. Thank you for taking the time to show us your projects and ideas. ♡
Looking forward to your videos :) have a good night as well
Thanks so much for sharing! What a cost saving, and these are so cute! I really enjoy your videos. You are so crafty :)
Baking a batch as I post this comment. First batch came out great. Thanks for posting this video!
I love this idea I have the pony beads and I didn't know what to use them for. I do crafts and this will come in handy. Thank you.
Genius idea!! Thank you so much! Sure saves a lot of cha-ching!! ❤️❤️
Thanks! Agree on the cha-ching! Thanks for stopping by!
Corene
Thanks for sharing this idea. I love enamel dots but don't a lot bc they are pricey. I will definitely be giving this a try! ~Kay
Wow what a brilliant idea, thank you so much for showing this x x In the UK they are called Hamma beads and the children make pictures with them, they also come in various sizes.
what a great idea-love this video and simple instructions
Hi Corene! These are fabulous!! I'm curious about the smell?? Like Patti said, your video is making me want to make them too! LOL! I've seen other videos but yours is very easy to see the quality and shine of the melted beads. Thank you for sharing!!
xo Rachel
Thank you very much for sharing!!!
I think I try it on the weekend.
Greats from germany
Fantastic! Have you tried cutting the bead to make smaller dots? How would you suggest getting a variety of sizes. Thanks!!
I am in the process of trying this procedure. I am using the pony beads and perler beads. The perler beads take a long time to melt, but the pony beads melt in the time you specified. However, they do not melt in an even circle and the hole does not always melt completely. Any suggestions. Yours look perfect. I am giving up on the perler beads.
Thanks for a great idea. I can not wait to try this.
What a great idea!!! Love all those colors!! I wonder if this is the same technique that the big crafting companies use (only on a bigger scale of course)...and then charge 10 prices for them?!?!? lol The ones you made look almost identical..'cept yours obviously don't have adhesive on the back of them like the 'brand name' ones would. TFS!!! ☺
Great tutorial, thanks Corene!
What type of glue do you use to adhere the dots to paper? Great tutorial, thanks for posting.
Thanks for the information. I can't wait to try them myself. I've bought some of the glitter pony beads to try. Will I need to adjust the temp for those? Thanks so much!!
Corene, since you're the first video I've watched as far as "how too", I would like to give you credit for the idea and shoot my own video once the beads arrive. Would this be ok with you?
Awesome Corene!!! I saw Lydia a few weeks ago show hers and now after seeing yours, well, I have to try it!!! LOL!!! Where did you purchase that mat you used to put the pony beads on? Thanks so much for sharing with us…..Lori :-)
Thumbs Up! Great video on this.
11,00! a life time suppllies!! Very pretty Connie!
*****
Wow! Thanks for sharing. Great video!
This is such a good idea, is that a ranger non-stick craft matt?
Fantastic idea, luv it. Do the Hama beads work as well?
Awesome. Now I know where I'm going today. lol These look so fun in all of those colors for much cheaper than $3-$5 for a small package. I can just use glossy accents instead of the sticker version. TFS!
Do you think you could melt them all together in a pot and coat eating utensils with it? Like enamel wear cups and such
PERFECTION, what size are your pony beads, I've seen them from 5mm to 9mm
Amazing! I love you tube, getting to see all the creativity is just so well... amazing! lol Thanks Jess
could I made them in a microwave? what is the temperature that I apply? thanks!
Loved your video! Thanks so much for the idea. Will be trying this tomorrow for sure. Have you tried any of the clear pony beads?
Fantastic idea! I'm wondering if you stacked one on top of the other before putting into the oven, whether or not the perler beads would form different sizes? You could somehow even try to stack three to make them even bigger? Also, has anyone tried these with the glitter perler beads? Bought a packet today and wondered how they would turn out?
Sam
I tried some this afternoon but I ended up with the polo shape with the hole in the middle :( quite like the glitter ones otherwise! Also found they stuck to the paper quite easily. May have to get some pony beads to try! Thank you for tutorial :) x
Hi great video and idea i have a question if i put 2 pony beads side by side would that create a bigger 1 i plan to glue this onto some buttons for my crochet pieces
***** thanks a bunch 😊
OMG!! I've been wanting to do this. Thank you so much for sharing!!
This is Awesome!! I can't wait to finish work so I can try this.
Thanks for the tip!
Will a silicone baking mat work ok? I mean, as long as it’s never used again fir baking, would this work as well as the paper you are using?
WOW!!! Thanks for the idea!!
Wonderful idea, Corene! I have these beads so I don't have to bu more. Do you have to pre-heat the oven?
Thanks again!
hello :) thanks for sharing. I want to try this but I'm worried it will smell too bad. did you have this problem ?Did the smell stay in your oven??
This is awesome! I saved the video. I think I'm going to try this. I'm on a make my own embellishments kick. Lol Tfs sweetie. Hugs-Kristina🤗
How clever!!! Love, love , love using Enamel dots on my pgs and have spent a fortune on them!., This is awesome!!! Plz, how do you stick them on your pages? Sticky dots? glue? If glue, what kind plz??? Thank you SO MUCH for this!👍😊🦋🌷
corenescreations Thank you very much! Yes this is a BIG HELP!
Hi! I purchased perler beads at Michaels and I bake them on a parchment paper but they stick to the point that it rips the paper. Can I bake directly on a craft mat or is there another solution? I really need help!!
Thank you!! I'll try that!
I have tried Hama Beads (uk equivalent of Perler) and pony beads both at the temperatures you recommend but they do not melt. I tried turning the temp up but it made no difference they melted so far and then stopped. Having spoken with others it seems here in the UK none of us can get it to work.
I wonder about the noxious fumes plastic releases when heated. There are some tutorials about "enamel" dots that do not use plastic nor heat. have you tried any of them?
Thx for sharing...great idea!!
Hi Corene- I used the mini pony beads. Are those the same as perler beads, or are perler beads different? Love your video!
What a great idea Corene! Thank you for sharing all the little tips and tidbits to make it easier to get great results. Now all I need is a good friend in Utah or maybe West Virginia or California that wants to make some of these and share! LOL
Great idea!!! Do mini glue dots work well to attach these to paper for scrapbooking?
I've heard that using a hot glue gun works great too ! :0)
Thanks!!! I have had fun making these!! Can't wait to use them!! Much cheaper!!!
they now have mini pony beads that are really cute, a big container of 3200 beads for 5.00 at Wal-Mart, no more messing with those tiny Perler beads! Sandy
Have you tried the larger peeler beads?
Just wondering the difference oven temp and time?
I'm going to have to try this out ty for sharing
Lovin it
I don't know if those Perler beads are the same as when I bought some 20 or so years ago. you would put them on this plastic shape that had points, then put some paper over it ( like parchment paper ) and use the iron on it to melt the top part. When you were thru you had a design that you could put a magnet on or make it a coaster etc. I did try the pony beads, one each of the colors my Granddaughter has. Well mine took forever. I had to put my oven on 450 for over 20 min. and still they all did not melt all the way. Maybe its because I live in Colorado. Any suggestions?
Thanks I will try it as soon as I buy some more.
What do you use them for? Lots of video how to s. No answer from anyone what their use is. Thank!
corenescreations i use them as accents on my scrapbook pages and on greeting cards..I often put 3 in a row either vertically or horizontally.. You can use the real small ones as the DOT of the letter “I” on titles and any words on your page..
wow gone give this a try. Just have to figure out the temperature because think you don't do Celcius. But it looks amazing
***** thanks dis see that at all. lol
thank you for sharing this great idea
wow! they look great! but what is about the plastic poison while melting??? isnt htat smelling badly? dont think that my oven will filter plastic melting gas...
+PamiStyle I agree. I don't want my kitchen full of melting hot plastic gas...
Thank you fro sharing this, I love it! I will be trying this!!
Aahh so excited to try!!! Thank you bunches!!:):):)
do you have trouble with the perler beads that are iridescent mine are having a ring in the middle not a hole or dent a colored ring that is darker
Wondering if someone tried with different type of beads just to make different sizes… I like to combine different sizes together 🤗
I have cut them in half and made different sizes. It worked well! 😊
