Pony Bead Bowls on a griddle

I like Pony Bead Bowls and I think they are easier to make on a griddle.  Make sure you use the same type of beads. 

Cover your griddle in foil.  Melt beads in a circle.  Flip over a foil covered cup to cool. 
The smell is less and it is easy to see how fast they are melting.  It is easy to flip the foil over the cup instead of having to cool it and melt it over the cup like if you do it in the oven.
