Hama 10.3424 Alphabet Activity Box, Multicolour

Product Information

With this printable Easter egg Perler bead pattern printable, kids can enjoy a fun and creative activity this Easter.

However an exception is the Picture Beads sold by Hobbycraft. I've used lots of these Hama style beads and found that they are nearly as good as branded Hama beads. Hobbycraft sell their beads in mixed bags of related colours, like blues and greens, and they are much cheaper, especially if you catch them on special offer. They are exactly the same size as branded Hama beads and can be used interchangeably with your Hama beads and Hama branded pegboards. Not only is it a great way for them to express themselves, but it’s also an easy and fun activity that both parents and children can enjoy together. The Printable Pattern If you are looking to buy a pegboard or two I'd recommend starting with a square, hexagonal and circular board as these will allow you to create a wide range of designs. The pegboards can be used over and over again, as long as you are careful not to over iron your projects (see more ironing tips for Hama beads below) I don’t know about you, but my kids LOVE creating patterns with perler beads. They like to calm them melty beads, but they’re also know as Hama beads.

What I've written about

With our printable pattern, children can make beautiful decorations while mastering colors, patterns, and shapes. It's a matter of personal preference as to how much you iron the beads. I like to leave the holes in the beads visible but some people like a smoother look. Just be careful not to over iron as this will make the beads impossible to remove from the board, and may warp and damage the board. If you're doing hama bead designs with children, make sure to keep small hands far away from the iron. To make designs that last, it's best to leave the ironed beads to cool overnight before they're played with. String matching beads on both sides and tie it off with a double knot. Letter beads allow you to put in writing your name in your keychains. Making Keychains with Beads.

Hama beads are available in three different sizes - Maxi, Midi and Mini. The Maxi beads have a diameter of 10 mm and are aimed at young children completing their first Hama bead projects. The Midi beads measure 5 mm in diameter and are the most common size of bead. These are the beads that I most often work with, and they are suitable for both children and adults to use. The smallest beads are the Mini beads, and with a diameter of 2.5 mm they really are very tiny. It's easiest to manipulate them with tweezers, and they are definitely more suited to teenagers and adults as they are very fiddly to use. I've suggested below a few Hama bead products below that are great for beginners, and you might also want to take a look at my Hama bead gift guide for some more Hama bead inspiration. Our pattern is designed around the hexagon pegboard, but you could still use the template for individual eggs on any of the clear pegboards. Just move it around a bit for each egg. I have also bought Perler branded beads when on holiday in the US and found that these work very well, although they are slightly more brittle in texture once ironed. Perler beads are available in a wider range of unusual colours as well as striped beads, so they are good for adding a bit of interest to a piece.Today we have a cute easter Perler bead patterns, (also known as Hama beads and melty beads) featuring lots of cute easter egg designs.
