Pour some vegetable oil into your bowl (base) and spread around with a paper towl. Pour in the perler beads and spread them out by lightly "punching" the center of the pile until it forms a wall. Keep adding beads to your liking.

After you've created your wall of beads inside the bowl it's time to bake it. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Let it bake until the beads look shiny and wet. Once finished take out of the oven (CAREFUL IT WILL BE HOT). If you want to speed up the cooling process you can stick it in the freezer for about 15 minutes(just to be safe)

Finishing Up

Once you've let it cool you should be able to pull the bead bowl out of your oven safe bowl. It might be oily so you can run it under some cool tap water. You can glaze it with so e triple thick or sculpt gloss glaze to give it a shiny look.
