Using Perler Beads To Make Rockets, Planets and More
I think everyone has been fascinated by the amazing pictures that you can create using beads melted with an iron.
These little plastic beads are so much fun to use, and the best part is they are a fantastic fine motor work out for little hands, while the kids have a blast making these cool bead crafts.
If you need some guidance on how to iron perler beads, check out our step by step instructions to make it easy.
This tutorial will show you how to make a Perler Bead Pattern using a simple printable template. Make sure you print it out at full size, then the template will be 1:1 true to size and you can place it directly beneath your peg board and work with it.
Using these templates and a tub of plastic fuse beads, you can make simple rockets and alien spacecrafts using only a few materials.
Kids will love this project because they get to be the spaceship designer, you can follow the template exactly, or mix things up and let the children choose which colors they want to use, so they get to use their imagination to create some fun designs of their own.
When I was little, I loved all kinds of crafts like coloring and making decorations, and now I find myself teaching my kids to do them. My sons and daughter love to do these perler bead crafts as they are so different from the usual painting and baking.
This is a perfect craft that you can easily incorporate into your family, with adult supervision for younger kids and older kids can make these independently.
How to Make Outer Space Perler Bead Crafts
How to use the perler bead pattern templates to make your beaded space crafts.
Materials
- Perler beads in multiple colors
- Printable template
Tools
- Clear peg board
- (optional) tweezers for placing the beads
- Iron
- Parchment paper
Instructions
- Place the template underneath your clear perler bead peg board
- Place the beads on top to complete the picture
- Once the picture is finished, place a piece of parchment paper on top and carefully move an iron on medium heat over the surface using circular motions (an adult should do this step because of the heat)
- Once the beads have melted and fused with the heat of the iron, let it cool enough to handle and then carefully remove from the peg board, and turn it over
- You need to fuse the other side too, so place another piece of parchment paper on the reverse side and repeat the process
- Allow to cool down completely
