Last month I spent a week showing you how to make Super Mario Bros. characters and other Super Mario Bros. items out of Perler Beads.  Well, the fun isn’t over yet.  I have a few more Super Mario Bros. Perler Beads crafts for you.  Today I’m going to show you how to make a Koopa Troopa with Perler Beads.  In case you don’t already know about the Koopa Troopas…. they are enemies of Mario and Luigi.  Koopas work for Bowser and are turtle-like creatures with shells that come in many different colors.  So, let’s get started on this Koopa Troopa Perler Bead Craft.

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.
