In this post I’m going to show you how to make a Perler Bead Mario from Super Mario Bros. Mario needs no introductions. After all, he is been around since the mid 80’s. This craft is great for kids of all ages…. especially the Super Mario fans. Keep in mind you will need a bit of parental help later in the craft as there is some ironing.

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
When cooled off… turn the board over. Your new creation should come right off of the board. Now, place wax paper over the back side of your perler bead creation and again, have an adult use an iron for 30 seconds. Let it cool off for a few minutes and then peel the wax paper of… it should be done now.
Now, your Perler Bead Mario is all done. Doesn’t he look cool? He looks pixelated like he did back in the original Mario Bros in the mid 80’s. Make sure to check back later today… I will be showing you how to make some of Mario’s friends and even enemies.
