What to do when everything is packed...

So..it's been awhile. AHHHH!! Talk about crazy days lately! :D We've been packing everything..EVERYTHING..and finally, we had to pack all the kids' toys. The only thing we kept out were these beads. Do any of you have these? They're pretty fun. Time consuming, but fun. (if you have the patience...and for me..that's questionable.) What you do, is you get these peg board type things. They come in all different shapes and sizes so you can make hundreds of crafts on them. Then you place the beads in whatever pattern you want. (it could be an apple, angel, turtle..anything you can think of). And lastly..you iron them. Yes. Iron. The beads melt together, and when you take them off the peg board, you have a little beady looking thing. Ok..so I'm not the best with directions. Hopefully these photos will explain it better.

First off..the beads...
Next..the peg boards...


Next..putting the beads on the peg board...


Some people take the hard route when doing the simplest of things. (like..looking for beads) :D

The most important part of this activity is the concentration. It's a MUST. :D


I just realized that I don't have a picture of the finished product. *gasp!!* I'll get one of those shortly so you can see what they look like when finished.

Until next time..
