Despicable Me Birthday ... Perler Beads

We are still are on the Despicable Me party train!  I have a few more things to show you.  I loved the Perler Beads I made for Cole's Minecraft party so I went on the search for ideas to do for Caden's Despicable Me party.  I found several websites, DeviantART had a bunch of ideas.  We kind of just tweaked what we saw and made it work.  I have no templates for you, just click on the picture and you can count how many you need (this was the easiest way to figure it out .. at least that is what I found).


Here are a few of my favs

What you Need:

Perler Beads (found at Hobby store, Black are HARD to find Amazon carries)
Perler Bead Board / Paper
Hot Iron

Make your design, CAREFULLY put the paper on top (almost like a wax paper) and put your HOT iron ontop.  BECAREFUL not to leave on too long or it will become mushy. I found that I just pressed down and iron like I would a shirt.  Once that side is done flip over take off the board put the paper on the backside that is now facing up and do it all over again.  Let them cool and they are ready to go.  I did a one figure per bag just like this and then I made another one that I made into a necklace.
