Last weekend my roommate Amy and I were doing a little thrifting when we came upon two bags of Perler beads. I probably wouldn't have taken a second look at them except my coworker and I had recently been discussing them so I was a bit nostalgic.
We bought the bags and a couple of the little pegboards and spent Saturday afternoon watching old VHS tapes, drinking homemade sangria and crafting with our Perler beads. What could be nicer than that?
I forgot about these! So cool!
ReplyDeleteThey make such adorable coasters!
You're right! I think I might try to make a few more for the coffee table!
Deletemajor flashback to childhood—this totally makes me smile! I wonder if my old beads and pegboards are still around...
ReplyDeleteI definitely had a major flashback when I saw them too! I forgot how fun they are!
