Make stained glass out of dollar store beads??

Use the plastic "pony beads". Usually in the kids section at the craft stores. But oh the colors!!! You could google the directions.

Oven will not get hot enough to melt or bond the beads to plate glass. You need a temp of 1500 degrees to melt glass. That's what kilns are made for. You can use E6000 glue and glue the beads to glass.
