Cool! :D


So so so... :?

I know I've seen creations made with Hama Beads, but I don't know much about them or how they are used.
What's the process? Do you glue them together?

They're little cylinders made of plastic. I put them together in a pegboard base and then fuse them with heat using an iron(yep, the same as with clothes). I put waxed paper on top of the beads to prevent they stick into the iron. After some time ironing in circles, they become a single piece :)

I started doing them just a few weeks ago. You need a lot of patience at first because the beads are somewhat difficult to grab :D But it's fun and it's worth it once you see your creations finished :)

Hope this help you know a little bit more :wink:
