Napkin Rings

I have loved doing Perler Beads since my children were young and we would make creations with them. I thought I would give you a few tips on using them. Perler Beads are one of the EKSuccess Brands, so I get to work with them a lot, even when there is not the first child around!

I build three dimensional creations and glue the sections together using Quik Dry Glue. These napkin rings are four circles put together. I build them either in a slice method (which I used here) or a slab method.

I use tweezers to pick up the beads, always looking for "snake eyes" so I can pick up two at a time. I simply stick the ends of the tweezers into the two holes and place them on the pegboard.

Joyce and I saw sooooooo many haybales this summer on our trip. I have seen several this fall with the end painted like a pumpkin or ghost, but I really liked this turkey display using hay as the body.

We have a little turkey to bring home from the hospital today.....hope he doesn't gobble too much about coming out into the real world!
