Perler Bead Keychains
If you’re looking for a craft project to keep the kids entertained this weekend pull out your box of beads because we’ve rounded up 14 fun perler bead keychain ideas for them to make.
I found everything from fun summer fruit charms to Doctor Who’s Tardis so there is something in this list for boys and girls!
Crafting with perler beads really helps to relax your mind because you’re focusing on those tiny beads and matching the pattern. It’s great find motor practice for kids too, and helps them to develop patience and persistence. So why not spend some time together creating some of these fun keyfobs this weekend!
1 | Watermelon Perler Bead Key Chain
This watermelon slice will make the perfect summer keychain don’t you think? We don’t have any glow in the dark beads in our stash but I think I just found the perfect excuse to go and add some to my next Amazon order! Of course you could just use a clear or even a white bead in their place.
Oh look here’s some more fruity options for you! Another watermelon slice but this time you can also make a pineapple, a strawberry and a kiwi slice. I love the idea of mixing and matching them on your keys. And of course they make a cute bag charm too!
We can totally stay in the summer groove with these fun cactus designs! I love that there are three different designs to make, so it’s up to you whether you want a potted succulent or a desert cactus on your keychain!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R3YGLUsjRY Take a look at this video to see how to make a whole bunch of cute little animal keychains. There’s a fox, tortoise, horse, parrot, elephant, koala, owl and a panda!
Oh here’s a fun idea! Make three little panda heads and then join them together to make a longer keychain. You could do this with many of the designs in this collection!
These swirly lollipops are super cute! I think I might make the sticks three beads wide though because as a keychain they might snap off a little easily!
Oh how SWEET are these little birds! There’s an owl, a puffin and a penguin and they’re perfect for back to school backpacks as well as keeping your keys safe!
We’ve made this little rainbow with the puffy white clouds and it makes me smile every time I look at it so it just had to make the list for today’s collection!
You know I always worry about not sharing enough boy-friendly crafts around here so when I saw this fabulous Tardis I knew I just had to share it with you! This would be a great back to school project for your son to do so he can use it as a bag tag. He might even want to make some for his friends!
