*<\/strong> Note: The sizes on the cake pan and glass bowls are critical.\u00a0 Using other sizes may cause wrinkles.\u00a0 Solid colored pony beads melt slower and cause more holes.<\/p>\n Results will vary<\/strong>:\u00a0 This bowl may have some holes and wrinkles in it.\u00a0 Your results will depend on how full you fill the pan with beads, what beads you use, the size of your bowls, and how well you press it.<\/p>\n Put the cake pan on top of a sheet of aluminum foil.\u00a0 With a pencil, trace around the base of the pan.\u00a0 Cut the circle out and put it in the pan with the shiny side down.\u00a0 (This helps you see your bead colors better.)<\/p>\n Don\u2019t bake the beads directly on a pan without the aluminum foil for two reasons:<\/p>\n All of the beads should be placed on their side so the hole is facing up.\u00a0 I used tweezers to move the beads.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t use beads with dirt spots.\u00a0 Any spots on the outside or inside of a bead will stand out when melted.<\/p>\n Put beads around the outside of the pan in rainbow order with 3 beads per color.\u00a0 Add in one more bead of your favorite color. \u00a0They need to fit snugly and be right up against the edge.\u00a0 As you add beads, check that the outline beads don\u2019t ride up on the side.\u00a0 They need to lay flat.<\/p>\n Add 2 rows of clear beads just inside the rainbow outline.<\/p>\n Build one small rainbow flower in the center.<\/p>\n Build three (3) large flowers between the rainbow flowers.\u00a0 The large flowers should also touch the clear bead edge.<\/p>\n Once all the flowers are in, look to see that they\u2019re at equal distances apart.<\/p>\n Closely outline all the flowers with clear beads.<\/p>\n Filling in the background can move the beads around.\u00a0 So before you bake it, go back over all of the beads and check for these critical things:<\/p>\n Bake for 35 minutes.\u00a0 If you see holes after the first 35 minutes, cook another 5 then check it.\u00a0 Then if needed, cook another 5 minutes.\u00a0 It will make an unusual noxious plastic smell when cooking.<\/p>\n When it is cooling you will hear some cracking sounds which are normal.\u00a0 Let it cool completely.\u00a0 Remove the disk from the pan.\u00a0 Peel the aluminum foil off the disk.<\/p>\n Sometimes a little bit of aluminum melts inside the beads.\u00a0 I shave those off with a metal nail file.\u00a0 I feel along the upper edge too.\u00a0 If it feels sharp, I file that a little bit too.<\/p>\n IMPORTANT:<\/strong>\u00a0 Only adults should complete these remaining steps.<\/p>\n Preheat oven to 375\u00ba.<\/p>\n Bake for 6 minutes.<\/p>\n CAUTION:<\/strong>\u00a0 the bowl, beads, and pan will be extremely hot.<\/p>\n Let it cool completely on the bowl.<\/p>\n Bake for 15 minutes.<\/p>\n During cooking, the medium bowl should have sunken down into the rimmed plate.\u00a0 This presses it down into the large bowl further and gives it a little higher rim.<\/p>\n Toward the end of its cooking, put on long oven mitts.\u00a0 Immediately<\/u> after you take it out of the oven, quickly<\/u> press down on the medium bowl to make sure it sunk.\u00a0 Then lift the medium glass bowl out.<\/p>\n Then quickly and continuously<\/u> press down on just the outer edge to form it to the bowl to smooth any wrinkles.\u00a0 Keep pressing and turning trying to work the sides smooth until it firms up.\u00a0 Let it cool completely in the bowl.<\/p>\nDirections<\/strong><\/h2>\n
Pan Liner<\/u><\/h3>\n
\n
Outline<\/u><\/h3>\n
The outline needs to be done first to weigh the foil down – so it doesn\u2019t slide around in the pan.<\/p>\n
Flowers<\/u><\/h3>\n
Put three (3) small rainbow flowers at equal distances around the outside.\u00a0 They should touch the clear bead edge.<\/p>\n
Background<\/u><\/h3>\n
Snugly fill in all of the open areas with clear beads.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want any big gaps because the beads won\u2019t connect so there will be a hole.<\/p>\n
Preparing to Bake<\/u><\/h3>\n
\n
Baking the Disk<\/u><\/h3>\n
Preheat oven to 375\u00ba.\u00a0 Put the pan in the oven very carefully so the beads don\u2019t shift out of place.<\/p>\n
First Forming<\/u><\/h3>\n
This step makes the disk look like a rimmed plate and shapes the bottom.\u00a0 Put the large glass bowl upside down in the center of a rimmed baking sheet.\u00a0 Center the disk with the bumpy side down and smooth up on the bottom of the bowl.\u00a0\u00a0 Put the pan in the oven very carefully so it doesn\u2019t get off center.<\/p>\n
(This is a simulated photo of how it would look on the baking sheet. )\u00a0 During cooking, put on long oven mitts.\u00a0 Immediately<\/u> after you take it out of the oven, quickly<\/u> and continuously<\/u> press down on all of the edges and sides (NOT the bottom) to form them to the bowl. \u00a0Keep pressing and turning trying to work the sides smooth until it firms up. \u00a0You must work as fast as you can because it hardens in seconds.\u00a0 Keep it centered.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Forming the Bowl<\/u><\/h3>\n
<\/u>This step makes the bowl a little bit deeper.\u00a0 Put the rimmed bead plate inside the large glass bowl with the rim up.\u00a0 Place the medium glass bowl on top of the rimmed plate and center it.\u00a0 Put the large bowl in the oven on the baking sheet very carefully so the medium bowl doesn\u2019t get off center.<\/p>\n
