What in the world do you do with all the Perler Bead Creations?!

nOkay moms, my kiddos love these Perler beads!  It wasn’t love at first sight mind you. When my kids became old enough to handle these tiny little beads, we bought our first set.  It was a struggle for both my kids in the beginning because, well, let’s face it – these beads are tiny!  So hard to handle and they want you to put them on an itty-bitty peg board. Say what?!  Yeah, we have all been there with the kids.  Okay, so after the ‘I can’t do this!’ and ‘This is hard!’ comments they found their groove and succeeded.  Yay!!! (Could have been after the hundredth time but who’s counting…)nnnnUmmm…..but what the heck do you do with all these patiently made creations????  For a while they hung out on the TV stand or dresser in the kid’s rooms.  Then my little girl asked me what she could do with them, so they didn’t get messed up.  I mean, she KNOWS how hard she worked for this! Oh me. Here we go again.nnnnMom to the rescue!  I found these black canvases at Hobby Lobby (Yes, ya’ll know it is one of the creative persons favorite stores!)  and what better background color for the rainbow of colors in the Perler beads!  This is so simple it will blow your mind….  We hung up the black canvas, used cork board tacks to put through the holes of the beads (Only use the tacks if you know your child is old enough to be responsible with them!), for my daughter I actually stitched them with black thread onto the canvas.  Simple stitch at the top and bottom of the creation to hold it securely.   You may be able to use the tacky clay, but I have not tried that yet.nnnnAn awesome way to display their creations and they can add to or take away whenever they want.  I love seeing all their hard work displayed every time I walk into their rooms!nn*If you would like to shop here for the Perler Bead components I would greatly appreciate it!  When you shop through my links, I earn a small commission.  With the money earned from my website, I am able to continue sharing!nnHere are the Perler sets used in my photos above:nnPerler Bead Woodland Creature SetnnnnPerler Bead Pet Parade Deluxe Setnnnn
