Every year I try to make a couple new Christmas ornaments for the tree. So far I've made hand and feet salt dough ornaments and felt and milk jug ornaments. This year I used Perler Beads and pipe cleaners to create easy snowflake ornaments!
These were so incredibly easy to make and the colors make me happy. Keep reading to see how you can make some of your own!

DIY Fish or Fruit Perler Bead Stretch Bracelet
Awhile back I had the wonderful opportunity to do a post swap with Allison from Dream a Little Bigger. (She's a serious crafting all-star, so I definitely recommend checking out her blog if you want to get seriously inspired.) While packing the other day I found my collection of DIY Perler Bead Bracelets (see the bottom of the post for pictures.) And then I realized that I never shared my tutorial here. So tada! Here's a post from the archives. Today we're going to make these lovely "fish" and "fruit" perler bead bracelets.

Aren't they both so colorful and summery? Don't you just want to make one? It feels like summer camp all over again... Let's get stringing!

Candy Corn inspired Perler Bead Bracelet 2
Yesterday I shared how I made a candy corn inspired perler bead bracelet. Today I'll share how I made this slightly more complicated version.
While both bracelets were inspired by candy corn, the second one is my favorite. It's graphic and quirky, just perfect to wear this upcoming month.
Materials:
- Perler beads
- Scissors
- Elastic Cord (I used a thin 0.5 mm elastic cord for these bracelets, but a thicker cord would have been better to use because it's easier to string the beads with and the finished bracelet feels sturdier.)
1. Cut out about 40 inches of cord. (It really doesn't matter what length you use. You'll just end up tying on more cording later.) Tie on a bead to act as a stopper. (Again, it doesn't matter what color you choose because you'll end up removing this bead at the end.)
2. String on six black beads. I labeled the beads with numbers to help out with steps 3 and 4. These six will be your first column of beads.
3. Now you're going to add your second column of beads. Add on a yellow bead (#7). Then,slip your string through your #5 bead. Add another black bead (#8). Then, slip your string through your #3 bead . Then, add another black bead (#9). Then, slip your string through your #1 bead. Then, pull tight.
These two columns are the basis for the rest of your bracelet. See how some portions of the bracelet jut out and some portions of the bracelet don't? As you continue to build your bracelet, you'll alternate between adding a bead to fill in a gap, and stringing your cord through the next bead that juts out.
4. Now we're going to string one candy corn. Remember to pull your string tight after stringing each column of beads.
Column 3: Add a black bead, string through #9 black bead, add a black bead, string through #8 black bead, add a yellow bead, string through #7 yellow bead
(From now on, I'll just tell you what color beads to add. But remember to alternate between adding a new bead and stringing through a bead that's jutting out.)
Column 4: Yellow, orange, black
Column 5: Black, orange, yellow
Column 6: Yellow, orange, orange
Column 7: White, orange, yellow
Column 8: Yellow, orange, orange
Column 9: Black, orange, yellow
Column 10: Yellow, orange, black
Column 11 : Black, black, yellow
Column 12: Yellow, black, black
Column 13: Black, black, black
Column 13: Black, black, black
Now you've got your first candy corn strung. High five! Keep going and continue to follow the pattern. If you run out of cord, no worries! Just tie on another strand.
Soon you'll get a long bracelet like this: (The ending section contains more black because I knew I wouldn't be able to add on a whole candy corn.)
5. Now make sure that (1) it fits your wrist and (2) both ends fit together like zipper teeth. Then, string your cord through both sides of the bracelet and pull tight. Remove the stopper bead and tie your beginning and ending cords together.
And you're done! Happy beading!

DIY Candy Corn Perler Bead Bracelet 1
Are y'all going Halloween crazy yet? (Or is it just me?)
Last weekend I took Chuck to Target and we had a blast seeing all the costumes and decorations. Doesn't matter how many times I've seen a dancing skeleton or singing skull, this stuff never gets old. I guess I'm a kid at heart because Halloween is my very favorite holiday.
Last weekend I took Chuck to Target and we had a blast seeing all the costumes and decorations. Doesn't matter how many times I've seen a dancing skeleton or singing skull, this stuff never gets old. I guess I'm a kid at heart because Halloween is my very favorite holiday.
So that's why I'm super excited to share this craft with you. I went a bit crazy with my perler beads and designed two candy corn inspired bracelets. Today I'm sharing the simpler design with you. If you like this one, head on back tomorrow to see how I made the more complicated one.
Here's a photo of my candy corn inspired bracelet:
Materials:
- Perler beads
- Scissors
- Elastic Cord (I used a thin 0.5 mm elastic cord for these bracelets, but honestly a thicker cord is better to use because it's easier to string the beads with and the finished bracelet feels sturdier.)
Directions:
1. Cut out about 40 inches of cord. (Honestly, it doesn't matter what length you initially use. You'll just end up tying on more cording later.) Tie on a bead to act as a stopper. (I used a black bead. It doesn't matter what color you choose because you'll end up removing this bead at the end.)
2. String on
- white bead (#1 bead)
- white bead (#2 bead)
- orange bead (#3 bead)
- orange bead (#4 bead)
- yellow bead (#5 bead)
- yellow bead (#6 bead)
3. Now you're going to add your second column of beads. Add on a yellow bead (#7). Then,slip your string through your #5 yellow bead. Add an orange bead (#8). Then, slip your string through your #3 orange bead . Then, add a white bead (#9). Then, slip your string through your #1 white bead. Then, pull tight.
4. Let's add the fourth and fifth columns.
- Column 4: Add a white bead. Slip your string through the jutting out white bead. Add an orange bead. Slip your string through the jutting out orange bead. Add a yellow bead. Slip your cord through the jutting out yellow bead. Pull tight.
- Column 5: Add a yellow bead. Slip your string through the jutting out yellow bead. Add an orange bead. Slip your string through the jutting out orange bead. Add a white bead. Slip your string through the jutting out white bead. Pull tight.
Keep going and continue to follow the pattern. Add a bead and then slip your string through a bead that's jutting out. Keep pulling your string tight after adding each column of beads. If you run out of cord, no worries! Just tie on another strand.
Soon you'll get a long bracelet like this:
Now make sure that (1) it fits your wrist and (2) both ends fit together like zipper teeth. Then, string your cord through both sides of the bracelet and pull tight. Remove the stopper bead and tie your beginning and ending cords together.
Tada! Done. And that's how you make a simple candy corn inspired perler bead bracelet. Like it? If so, come back tomorrow to see how I made a slightly more complicated candy corn bracelet.
Happy beading!

Perler Bead Zip Tie Statement Necklace
Ok, ok. I'm still on the Perler bead kick.
I can't help it! The jar is still practically full of beads.... and it mocks me whenever I walk by. I tried hiding them in a craft drawer, but it didn't help. I hear tiny colorful voices crying "Leslie, Leslie. Use us. Use us!"
So like any crafter, I caved in to their siren calls.
Inspired by Mark Montano, I used zip ties to make these quick and easy Perler bead statement necklaces. Tada!
I think the right one looks really cute and fresh. I was on the fence about the left one... but it was a hit with Chuck. He decided to wear it to church on Sunday (along with a backwards basketball cap, purple exercise shorts, and sneakers.....oi!)
So if you too find yourself taunted by Perler beads, you could try making these necklaces too. Let's begin!

Perler Bead Safety Pin Bracelet
And so the Perler bead craze continues!
(You know how they have "Shark Week" on tv? Maybe I should have called this "Perler Week..." Hmm...)
Last night while watching tv, I strung a whole bunch of black and white Perler beads onto some safety pins. Why? Well, because I wanted to make this bracelet...
The black and white design makes it quite graphic, the Perler beads make it fun, and the silver safety pin bits make it a bit edgy. When I wear it, I imagine that I'm a hip preschool teacher going out to a club. (Wow. I really need to get out more....)

Perler Bead Statement Necklace
Yes. I'm still on a Perler Bead kick. I'm sorry. I can't help it. I'm the kind of person that likes to finish things off... and so far I've been thwarted from doing just that. Boo. Even after all this crafting, I still have like a billion beads left.
A billion! Ack! What do people do with all these beads anyway?
So today I'm going to share how I made this statement necklace using Perler beads. But, full disclaimer here... honestly, I'm on the fence over the results. Cute? Or kind of crappy? I'll let you decide....
Materials:
- 1/8" wide ribbon, cut at 72 inches
- Scissors
- Masking Tape
- Perler beads
- Ruler

Make Perler bead bowls (and words)
Today's post is a bit late because my computer died last night.
RIP, dear friend.
I knew that it was going to happen sooner or later (but I just wish it was later.) Boo. I also wish that I had backed up my stuff (double boo.) Hubby's performing some intensive surgery on it, so hopefully we can get my documents and photos back.
OK, enough heavy shop talk... onto today's craft.
When I saw Poppy Haus melting Perler beads to make bowls, I knew that I had to try it too. Melting plastic beads in the oven? Too. Much. Crafty. Awesomeness. Sign me up!
Definitely check out her results, because they were much classier (she used two colors.) I, on the other hand, went whole-hog color crazy. Here are my results:
Bam! It's like a whole bunch of sprinkles and confetti exploded to make this bowl. We're currently using it to store fruit.
