Perler Beads have become the craft of choice in our home these days. I think I enjoy playing with them as much as the kids. It's fun to be gathered around the dining room table working on things together while we listen to Christmas songs.
We decided to use our love for the 'beads' and turn them into ornaments for our twigs and branches tree. They added a fun pop of color and shape to our dining room.
Have you used Perler Beads before? If not, I encourage you to get some. You can find them at most craft stores. Amazon has a nice selection of Perler Beads and the accessories that can go with them This site offers ideas and kits to make hundreds of different projects. The projects can be simple or more intricate, but the basics always remain the same:
Here are a few close-ups of our ornaments.
If you have little ones, the size of the beads can become a bit frustrating. But, they do make Perler Biggie Beads which are much easier for little hands to grab and place on the boards. These ornaments would also make fun homemade gifts for friends and family. The skies the limit. You can add initials or numbers into your designs to make them really unique.
