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.

7 | Lollipop Swirl Perler Bead
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!
