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!
