So, here is my idea for ways to make mosaics on a small scale at home. My human brothers love to play with Perler beads. Last week I played with them. You can consider them an art supply of sorts as well as a craft. It is easy and fun. You do need an adult to participate. The iron is hot. and dangerous. You can get hurt, so ASK A PARENT, or other adult. DO NOT do this alone if you are a kid. Sorry for shouting but a long time ago mom was ironing, and my brother knocked the iron over when he was running around her and the hot iron hit his leg and he had a burn line down his leg. Mom yelled about running around while she was ironing his shirt bur he did not listen. I don't want to see anyone get hurt.
Perler beads are like a mosaic, which is a type of art where you use small bits of color to make a picture. I made some picture of dogs, my brother Avery made a rainbow and Ryan made a few things. I will post a photo of what we made. You can learn more about
Perler Beads on their website.
Perler beads are placed in a design on a peg board, then when you have your design done, you cover the design with a parchment paper and iron it to melt the beads together. You can also find other crafts that you can make.
I made the three dog designs and my brother made the others.
Using Perler beads is a fun way to express art. Art is everywhere.
