Description

I hate the little holes the perler beads have even when you iron them, so i asked myself what would they look like without the holes, the answer became a cute little personalized charm.Hope you like.

Instructions

1. 

   first make a three by three little square

2. 

   Next,iron each square for about a minute each on medium to high heat or until smooth.

3. 

   Now that you have a smooth little square color in the section of the stamp you want with a permanent marker. (or you can try your hand at freehand in witch case skip this and the next step)

4. 

   Press the stamp pad to the square and color in any parts that didn't get stamped right.

5. 

   Now heat the needle over the candle flame(you might want to do this with gloves or pliers) and push the needle through the square several times.Until you have a nice smooth hole.

6. 

   now you square is no longer a square it is a charm. I plan to make mine earrings or a pretty bracelet.
