Perler Bead Display

Perler beads (AKA Hama or Fuse beads) are awesome. They are great for fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Karuna would come home with one of these a day from preschool. Her whole class was obsessed! As you can imagine, by the end of the year we had a large bag full of these creations. Rather than stuff them into a drawer, never to be seen again, we found a way to display them!
To make them gallery ready, arrange them onto a nice canvas, then attach them with a glue gun. We used a linen canvas, but you could also paint a white canvas for a fun background color.

Here are some other ideas to display Perler beads:
Make a mobile out of them
Attach a jump-ring to the top of one and use as a necklace pendant
Attach to the front of a greeting card
You could also make them into ornaments, magnets, or use them as coasters!

What do you do with your Perler bead creations?
