Anyone remember the name of this craft/toy thing?

I'm trying to remember the name of a sort of craft set/toy thing I used to get when I was wee. Basically you got a metal frame, and some wee plastic beads. You poured the plastic beads into the metal frame then put it in the oven, the plastic melted and created a stained glass effect.

The end results look like this:

The reindeer and I think the "season's greetings" things are, I'm pretty sure, made of the same stuff, we've got that same reindeer and I made it.

That rang a very faint bell.

Can't remember them, but google throws up suncatcher as a possible name, though that seems to be American.

Some random site. (http://indianfoodrocks.blogspot.com/2006/08/makeit-bakeit-suncatchers-and-pinwheel.html)

EDIT
D'oh just realised from your link that you already knew that. Oh well.

Looks like 'em. Makit and Bakit. Not what we called them but that'll do it nicely- thanks!

Showing my sensitive feminine side here...dont tell anyone but...

I was flicking through a magazine the other day, ASDA one I think, and it said that you can do the same thing with boiled sweets....it was for christmas decorations I think - they got a biscuit, cut a hole out of it, popped a boiled sweet in, then baked it in the oven....created a stained glass effect christmas decoration....

I've had a few beer, and I know I am going to regret reading this post in the morning...

Don't think that'd work for what I have in mind... But it'd be tasty :smt023
