I love this idea, I call melty hearts, found on Club Chica Circle, a site I definitely need to check out more. Lots of great ideas there!
These are so simple! A fast, rewarding project.
- Preheat oven to 400*F.
- Place metal cookie cutters on a parchment lined pan.
- Fill cookie cutter with one layer of Perler beads. The blue/black heart was made with Glow in the Dark Perler beads from Craftprojectideas.com that came in a rainy day kit they sent me a few months ago. They do look a little different than the others after melting, but great results!
- Melt in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Allow beads to cool and harden before removing cookie cutter.
Use whatever color beads you have. Be creative! They all turned out beautiful and can be displayed all year long.

I tried it too. Problem: i cannot get it out of the cookie cutter! What to do?

It should press out with a little pressure. Otherwise, I would try to warm it up again and then carefully remove it when warm. Hope that helps.
