I’m
dedicating this blog to all my crafty adventures, cooking labs, and all the
randomness that makes me who I am. To whoever drops in for a glance into my
world feel free to leave comments and remember if you have nothing nice to say
than say nothing at all.
Topic:
Perler Beads
Perler beads a well-known craft product
in the crafter world but are new to me. I have seen them in many craft stores
but I have never bought any until now. I picked up a theme bucket of Perler
beads at my local craft store. I chose the bakery bucket because it has a
variety of colorful beads that I know will come in handy as I begin this new
crafty adventure.
When I got home I opened the bucket and
inside there were three bags of Perler beads, three peg boards, ironing paper,
and instruction manual. I read the instructions, checked out the free patterns
that came with the kit and then I open up the bags of beads. I started off with
my own ideas; there wasn’t anything wrong with the free patterns. It’s just I
have never been one to color in the coloring book; instead I prefer a blank
sheet of paper with room for freedom of creativity. Sitting at the craft table
I came up with a nice little set of peace and love, one round peace sign, one
hand peace sign, and a cute little heart. All three pieces came out very well
for my first time working with Perler beads. The only problem I had was with my
iron temperature setting, I had to keep checking the beads to see if they had
fuse already or not. Otherwise I had no problem with crafting with Perler
beads.
Later on into the evening I spent some
time on the computer looking at all thwonderful art work created by Perler beads. I have learned what e was once many crafters childhood favorite medium is
now adult’s favorite form of crafting as well. Perler beads another ageless and
timeless craft for all to enjoy.
