Halloween is one of the most loved holidays by children. Get them involved in the decoration process by making perler bead Halloween ornaments for wreaths, trees, or garlands. Perler beads are a crafting right of passage for all children and are readily available at your local craft supply store.
Supply List
- Perler Beads
- Iron
- Parchment Paper
- Ribbon or Ornament Hooks
Step 1:
Arrange your perler beads on the plate of your choice in the shape of a pumpkin, spider web, candy corn, bat, or ghost.
Step 2:
Place the included parchment paper sheet over the plate with the finished design and hold an iron set to medium heat for 10 to 20 seconds over the image. You want the edge of the beads to have melted enough that they are connected to one another.
Step 3:
Allow the shape to cool and peel it off of the parchment paper. Repeat until you have enough to decorate a wreath or black tree with the ornaments. Just string some ribbon or wire ornament hangers from the top of each one and hang them on your halloween tree just like you would a Christmas tree. Perler Bead Ornaments
