Ice Kirby Perler Bead Sprite

"Ice-Ice, Kirby"
     The first Kirby game I ever got was Kirby Squeak Squad for Nintendo DS. It was one of my first Nintendo games that I played (first one Mario Kart DS of course) and I still love playing it time to time, especially with my much larger 3DS XL screen. I remembered one of my favourite forms of Kirby was Ice, because it turned enemies into ice cubes XD, so that's what inspired me to make this, the first moderately difficult perler beads sprite that took up a lot of the pegboard. Enjoy!

Making Ice Kirby:

-1 Regular 29x29 Pegboard
-Dimension Reach: 21 x 28
-Time: Approx. 30 minutes

Colours:
32---Black
27---Light Brown
9---Tan
72---Dark Blue
65---Light Blue
50---Turquoise
104---Toothpaste
18---Plum
8---Pastel Lavender
11---Light Pink
7---Yellow
3---Butterscotch
10---Cheddar
25---White

Total: 441 Beads

     This Ice Kirby is about the size of my entire hand, so it will take some time to complete and if you want to make changes, squinting a lot will probably be needed in order to see if the ice "pops" out and looks like it has some dimension. See it come together!

Pokémon Pokéball Perler Bead Coaster

"Go Pokéball"
     When I bought my first bucket of beads, the only pegboards I had were these mini pegboards of various shapes, so as I was getting the feel of this hobby, I decided to make a bunch of coasters that I could use for drinks or giving away to friends (if only I had any XD). With the mini circle pegboard, I was able to make little coasters for sodas and glasses because they were the perfect size for it! So obviously, the first design I thought about was the Pokéball!

Making A Pokéball Coaster:

-1 Mini Circle Pegboard Diameter 15
-Dimension Reach: Diameter 15
-Time: Approx. 5 minutes

Colours:
62---Black
7---Grey
48---Red
48---White

Total: 165 Beads

     This design is sooo easy and simple to make and of course it is Pokémon themed. When you place your glass on top of it, you'll see an awesome Pokéball under it and any guests who come over will have a very unique coaster under their drink. Watch how quick I made mine!
