What to do with Fuse Beads

So here’s a craft throwback for you. Do you still have a stash of these? Fuse beads, perler beads, hana beads. Whatever it is that you call them, here are some ideas for how you can use them!

These colorful little plastic things are such a quick craft fix for when you just need to get your hands busy.

You can make a pretty cool 80’s necklace and pendant.

Lay your design out on a plate. Just think in pixels, and you’re all set. Iron for 10 seconds on each side, and you’re all done!

My chargers always seem to fall apart closest to the ends. Here’s a fun colorful solution!

Slice through each bead slowly with a craft knife. You must be very careful not to slice yourself in the process.

Open the bead up a little, and slip the cord through the slit.

You can also make coasters! You’ll have to make sure to iron one side thoroughly, so that water doesn’t seep through.

I made a random concentric circle design using colors in the same palette, and ironed away. You can also turn these into keychains! Adorable right?
