Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mini Perler Beads – Keychains, Magnets, Earrings and More

Posted on by teacherscoutmom
TMNT- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Earrings & Keychains made from mini beads.

These super fun keychains and earrings are a throw back to the old 80’s style TMNT or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I used to watch this show every morning before school so it was fun showing my kids.

Perler pattern for TMNT

I used mini Perler beads with a few mini Artkal also. What I love is that when you melt them with a more pixalated look, you can’t tell which is which. The mini size also works perfect for keychains, magnets, or dangle earrings.

Mini Perler can be found at perler.com or on Amazon. Artkal beads can be found at a artkalfusebeads.com or also on Amazon. Perler is generally my favorite bead but when it comes to the mini bead size, Artkal wins out in my opinion. There are a ton more colors and you don’t have to buy the entire tray to just get one or two colors.

Please use the patterns above to make your own or you can purchase some cute ones already made at my Etsy store here. Any 3 items purchased across my shop ships free!

Discovering Mini-Perler Beads with Avengers

Posted on by teacherscoutmom

Avengers Magnets made with Mini Perler Beads

MINI PERLER BEADS!!!! I have recently discovered these little gems and they are super cute and awesome!!! You can still build your characters and other designs out of the classic Perler beads, however these Avenger pieces are only 2 ½ cm high compared to the classic Perler beads which would make them 5 cm tall. (see Iron Man below)

Kandi Patterns is great for discovering or making your own patterns.

Just to give you some ideas on the difference in size between the classic Perler beads and the mini Perler beads…

Iron Man, avengers, mini Perler, classic Perler beads
Iron Man- made with both mini & classic Perler beads to show the difference
Perler, pegboards, mini, classic
Perler Bead Pegboards- Mini Version and Classic regular version

The official Perler site has a great selection of both the classic and mini bead versions. Amazon has 4 trays like the one here, and they have a variety of color selections. The small pegboards are super cute but they do take a little getting used to. The tweezers are definitely a lot sharper and have more of a needle nose look to them. However, I had a blast playing with all of the designs and creating the smaller versions. These smaller characters are super easy to put on a key chain, magnet or a backpack clip and they won’t take up too much space.

The little magnets that I have created above are on my new Etsy store if you would like to purchase a character or a set already made, then please go there. I also have Do it yourself kits which have the beads needed or whole kits that have the beads, a pegboard and an ironing sheet so you can make your own.

However, If you were going to do lots of the mini bead creations, then I definitely recommend buying bulk from Amazon or Perler but if you want to get your feet wet with these mini beads, then the set on my Etsy store may be the way to go. The only thing not supplied are the tweezers.

Either way you do it, the mini versions are super cute. You can try making some of your previous creations with the smaller versions and see what you think. Hope you love them as much as we do!

Want some easy family Perler bead patterns that can easily transform into Christmas ornaments?  Look no further, this family fun craft was easy to make and looks great on the tree.

In my Etsy Store and my store, www.galaxyofpixels.com – I have these kits ready to go. You can purchase them for $2 or $2.50 a piece and they have exactly what you need to make these ornaments.

Our results are below.

Super Mario Perler Bead Christmas Ornaments

Posted on by teacherscoutmom
Capture

Our family is a huge Nintendo fan and our kids have grown up playing all the Super Mario franchise games. This year, the kids had their own tree to decorate and we decided to make some Perler beads ornaments. We are looking forward to making lots of ornaments this holiday season.

In the pictures below, I used a Christmas hook, However, in my newest ornaments, I have used a ribbon which I attach before I iron. In my Etsy Store and my Online Store, www.galaxyofpixels.com – I have several of these kits ready to go with more on the way. You can purchase them for $2 or $2.50 a piece and they have exactly what you need to make these ornaments.

Mario and Luigi in Christmas Stockings

Mario in the stocking! After making Mario, I changed the red to green to create Luigi. When ironing, we left one of the top beads open and not too melted. This allowed us to put a Christmas hook into the hole which helped it fit easily on the tree.

Red and Green Mushrooms

Same as above- once made, we melted everything but the top bead to allow for the ornament hook.

Don’t forget while melting to leave room for the hook.

Pokemon’s Pikachu Perler Bead Project

Posted on by teacherscoutmom

This super cute little guy was based off a pixelated image created by Kandi Patterns and was made by a nine year old.

She used the pixel image to count and drop the yellow, white, black and red Perler beads into place to form Pikachu.

We used the masking tape method (see Perler for more info) to tape off sections when the project was ready for ironing. Using a large piece of cardboard and ironing paper, we were able to get him melted. (Unfortunately, she was ironing it on a table that was old and had some indentions in it) However, overall he still came out pretty great!

Drop me a comment or picture if you try this cute pattern out! Would love to know see your project!

Legend of Zelda Perler Bead Art Scene

Posted on by teacherscoutmom

Ever wanted a Perler Bead or Hama Bead pattern that you could spend time happily crafting so that you can melt it and put it in a framed picture for the wall? This classic piece is from the Super Nintendo Legend of Zelda – A Link to the Past.

Made with over 3,800 Perler Beads and 6 grids! Original design xpeachart or cocomademosielle depending on which pin you look at.

This one did take a few hours to create. If you recreate this pattern, I would suggest getting a large piece of cardboard or cardboard box to lay underneath the grids.

We used a medium shipping box from Walmart, cut in half like the first picture below. (One box should make two large pieces with two of the sides of the box in each piece.) Then we laid the grids on top of one side. Once the scene was complete and before ironing, we used the masking tape method to tape the entire picture. (If you would like to learn more about this method, Perler has a great tutorial on their site.) Once the masking tape was secure, we were able to fold the top side of the box down and enclosed the grid inside (basically a grid sandwich with the cardboard on both sides). This made flipping the grids so much easier!

 

 

 

 

 

I wanted the scene to have the pixel look so after ironing, ours turned out like this..
