The mini-monsters have got a taste for it, so the maxi-monsters are ironing a lot! Perler beads are so much fun so they are used a lot! Because we are talking and reading about the weather right now, they have made the clouds and they are very beautiful!
How to make the clouds
We start with the rainbow clouds
Start with 8 beads in an arch.
Place more arches on top.
Choose pretty colours.
Make 6 or 7 arches.
Make white clouds at the bottom of the arch.
Place baking paper over your work.
Iron it carefully, for 10 seconds.
Ironing tips
- An adult does the ironing or supervises older children
- set the iron to medium heat and turn off the steam
- move the iron gently and slowly back and forth over the work
Gently remove the paper.
Let the craft cool completely.
Iron the other side too.
Make also a sun behind a cloud.
And / or a little rain cloud.
In the same way as the rainbow.
Stick on magnets.
Allow the glue to dry completely.
Stick your clouds on the refrigerator.
