Here's a quick little project for making cute Christmas cards out of a plain card and a mini Hama bead motif.

If you've never used Hama beads before, I should probably explain that they are little plastic beads that you place on a pegboard and then fuse them together using an iron. They come in 3 different sizes and the mini ones are the smallest you can buy - recommended for age 10 and above.

You Will Need (7 things)

  • Hama Bead Board
  • Glue
  • Card
  • Ironing Board
  • Iron
  • Hama Bead Ironing Paper
  • Hama Beads (Mini)

Steps (3 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Simply follow the chart in the usual way. As this is made using the mini Hama beads, you might like to place them using tweasers to prevent knocking over the beads that you have already placed.

    I find it easiest to just follow the chart from the bottom left and work gradually upwards, row by row.

  2. 2

    I used a square, mini Hama bead peg board and was able to get a few Christmas puddings on one board,

  3. 3

    Iron your puddings, following the instructions to fuse the beads together and then stick your motifs to your Christmas card.

    I used Diamond Glaze to stick them to the cards.
