Kitsch Robot Gift Tag

Posted 2014-06-10 by Jane Street ⇒ follow
My daughter was given a pack of Hama melting beads recently which are lots of fun. I confess I also got rather hooked on them and 'borrowed' a handful to try moulding them in the oven. The result was these kitsch moulded characters which I made into some fun gift tags. I think the characters could also be stuck on to blank greeting cards or craft magnets to make some kitsch accessories around the home.



Materials
  • Hama beads or other melting beads
  • Silicone mould
  • Oven
  • Scissors
  • Sand paper
  • Strong glue
  • Plain gift tag

    • Colourful Hama beads


    Method
  • Lay out the silicone mould on a baking tray. Fill the moulds with Hama melting beads.



  • Put the tray in the oven at 200 degrees for about 20-30 minutes (or until fully melted).



  • Let the tray cool then pop out the plastic characters.
  • My beads melted up the side of the mould so left a rather wavy surface on the back of the robot. I trimmed these pieces off with scissors and gave the back a quick smooth off with sand paper to give a flat surface.

    • I trimmed these wavy bits off with scissors and sanded to give a flat back




  • Stick the plastic robot onto the gift tag with some PVA glue or hot glue gun.



    • Have you made these? Please do share a picture of your creation in the comments forum.
