Perler Beads Harry Potter Instruction Pad, 53 Patterns, Multicolor

Product Information

And this project is super kid-friendly! My own kids are grown, but I have a young friend (about 9) that likes to come over and will spend hours making Perler bead projects. She can easily sort and place the beads, and she has no problem following the patterns. The only step she can’t do is ironing them. That needs to be done by an adult. I admit sometimes I iron too long and some of the beads fill in. It’s kind of a fine line between ironing enough so the beads melt together and ironing too much. It doesn’t really matter if you iron too long, it just changes the look of the project a little. If you have left holes in the beads while ironing, inserting the jump rings is super easy. Just choose a hole in the top row of your ornament and insert the ring.

Buying individual colours are easier to work with. But the mixed box from Ikea or a mixed box from the Perler brand are often cheaper and will give you lots of colours to start with. Here are more décor from Lucinda of Swish and Stitch. If you’ve already been sorted, it’s important to have your house crest on you. It’s easy making these Perler bead house crests. Are you Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin? Harry Potter Character Keychains We started off by making this 3D Time-Turner. See how to make it here. It was really fun to make and it didn’t take too much time (about 30min) or too many beads either. If you don’t have gold coloured beads, then simply paint the beads afterwards with acrylic paint. That will also give a more metallic shine to the finished Time-Turner. Perler Beads Hogwarts Seal Get lots of Harry Potter perler beads designs right here! Scroll down for the Hogwarts Seal, Harry Potter and his two friends, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, the Snitch, Hedwig and a 3D Time-Turner. All made out of perler beads! A Harry Potter birthday party equals Harry Potter perler beads, of course! Once your rings are inserted, cut a piece of gold cord 5-6 inches. Thread the cord through the jump ring and tie a simple knot. Trim the ends, if desired.Luna had decorated her bedroom ceiling with five beautifully painted faces: Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Neville. They were not moving as the portraits at Hogwarts moved, but there was a certain magic about them all the same: Harry thought they breathed. What appeared to be fine golden chains wove around the pictures, linking them together, but after examining them for a minute or so, Harry realized that the chains were actually one word, repeated a thousand times in golden ink: friends . . . friends . . . friends . . . ” Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows If your holes are more filled in and you can’t get the jump ring through, use a needle or pin and re-open a hole where you want it. Then, insert the ring. Vibbedille created this beautiful (and big!) Harry Potter figure. The crafter had to use 14 plates for beading. To put it against the wall, Vibbedille used nano tape. This would also look great as a standee on your table if you can find a suitable mount for it. In this design, Harry is wearing his signature glasses and Hogwarts scarf with wand at the ready. Luna Lovegood Spectrespecs and Radish earrings The kit comes with a sheet of parchment paper to cover the beads with while ironing. Just place it on top of the beads and iron in a circular motion. According to Perler.com,“When ironed properly, the beads will still have an open center.”

Cover the finished design with parchment paper (baking paper) and iron on low to medium heat. Let the beads cool down a little before removing them from the peg board. Perler beads are recommended for ages six and up, so this is a very fun craft to try with your littles. Children love perler beads (also known as hama beads, fuse beads, or melty beads). But don’t be shy – adults love them too! Tips for Using Perler Beads

Success!

The bigger ones -like this Hogwarts Seal below- is more time consuming but also challenging and fun to complete. We found some basic idea on google and then changed it to make it our own. Perler Beads Harry, Hermione and Ron If you’ve never worked with Perler or other fused beads, there’s nothing simpler. It’s kind of like paint by number. Just choose the pattern you want, and place beads on the pegboard according to the pattern. We especially love 3D perler beads designs. If you think those are fun too, then maybe the Perler Beads 3D presents are a great place to start. We love being creative with perler beads in our house. And when the upcoming birthday party is Harry Potter themed, then it’s natural that all the artwork become Harry Potter themed too in the month leading up to the party. It’s a win-win situation as we end up with lots of themed decorations. These handmade decorations add something special to the celebrations. And they are beautiful on the walls in the kids’ rooms afterwards too.
