Fashion Earrings

Make these fun and easy earrings with Perler beads to wear with all your outfits. Design your own earrings by simply changing the colors and shapes.

Instructions

Step 1
Bead Colors Needed:
Magenta - 72
Hot Coral - 58
Light Green - 28
Black - 28
White - 24
Silver Pearl Stripe - 44
See the Supply List for beads and tools you can purchase.

You will also need:
Ear wires - 8
8mm jump rings - 14
Fine nose pliers

Step 2
Download the PDF for the Fashion Earrings Project Pattern. You will use the small circle, small square, and small hexagon pegboards for your projects. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place the beads for the project.

Step 3
Ask an adult to fuse your designs. Place your pegboard on a flat, heat-safe surface. Set a household iron to the medium setting. Place ironing paper over the pegboard. In a circular motion, begin to iron the project. When ironed properly, the beads will still have open centers. DO NOT OVER-IRON as this will cause the beads to close and can make assembly of your project more challenging. Let the design cool.

Step 4
Remove the paper and bead design from the pegboard. Flip the design over to expose the non-fused side. Repeat step two. Let cool completely. Once the design is cool, peel off the ironing paper. Your pegboards and ironing paper are reusable.

Note: Beads need heat for about 10-20 seconds per side to fuse evenly. Lift the paper occasionally to see how the beads are fusing. Additional heating time may be required.

Step 5
ASSEMBLY: Using the pliers and working through the holes in the beads, connect pieces together and attach to the ear wires with jump rings.
