There remained some leftovers from our cut plastic bottle, from which we already made a knitting loom<\/a> and a plastic box<\/a> and we can use them to make some beads.
\nIn the instruction on how to make plastic bottle beads<\/a> they roll up the plastic strip and melt it together with a heat gun.
\nI don’t have no heat gun and I’m a little afraid of possibly developing fumes, therefore I did it in a different way:<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"unikatissima I brought water to the boil in my craft pan (which I don’t use for food preparation anymore!).
\nThen I cut a stripe from the plastic bottle and rolled tightly using some tweezers.
\nLook out, it always try to uncoil!<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"unikatissima I hold the rolled ‘bead’ with my craft wooden pliers (also not used for food preparation anymore) into the simmering water and in seconds the bead was finished.
\nI don’t know if I could have coloured the bead with permanent markers, I’ve forgotten to test this.
\nBesides the end doesn’t fuse with the bead, but it doesn’t open neither.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

\"unikatissima Because it always wanted to uncoil I hold it quite firm with my wooden pliers and the bead became a little flat.
\nPressing it in the other direction and dipping into the simmering water again didn’t make the bead round.
\nBut 1. I like the shape<\/a> and 2. I think it’s only a matter of practice.<\/p>\n
