Today I am going to show you how to make a Koopa Shell from Super Mario Bros. using Perler Beads.  Koopa Troopa are one of Mario‘s enemies.  The Koopa shell is the left over item after a Koopa Troopa has been killed or stepped on.  Once the shell is left over Mario can use it to throw at his enemies.  So, a Koopa Shell is an awesome find for Mario.  Get your perler beads ready and let’s get started.

Step 1

Use the template to place the perler beads in the right location.  Then bring the board to an adult so that they can iron it for you.

 

Step 2

Ask an adult to iron the first side on medium heat.  Place wax paper over the beads.  Then for 30 seconds, iron in a circular motion.  Let cool for a few minutes and then come back to it.

 

Step 3

After cooled… Turn plate over and take item off of plate.  Now adult can place wax paper over back side of item and iron this side for 30 seconds as well.
