For the past few days we have been making Super Mario Bros. characters from Perler Beads. Well, the fun continues as I am going to show you how to make the Blocks from Super Mario Bros. with Perler Beads. The blocks are so important for Mario as he walks on them and jumps on them. And, sometimes if he jumps at them from below they will even pop out some coins. Now, let’s get started.
Check out our other Super Mario Bros. Perler Bead Crafts and other Perler Bead Crafts.

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.
Now that you made one block and you know how easy it is… why not make a few more. Make enough that Mario and Luigi can jump on them and have some fun.

That’s not definitely a Mario block…
I don’t know what you call it – but others online called it a block. It is one of those blocks that are supposed to be metal and when you jump up and hit it with your head nothing happens. – if you are looking for the brick it is here http://www.artistshelpingchildren.org/kidscraftsactivitiesblog/2011/10/how-to-make-the-bricks-from-super-mario-bros-with-perler-beads/
