Today I’m going to show you how to make a Piranha Plant from Super Mario Bros. with Perler Beads. Piranha Plants are large, carnivorous plants that eat anything in its vicinity. Usually piranhas come out from warp pipes, but now they can also be found other places in the game as well. If you have been making the other Super Mario Bros. Characters out of Perler Beads with me then this Piranha Plant is a necessary addition. So, let’s get started.
