St. Patrick's Day Perler Bead Designs

-This post may contain affiliate links-

St. Patrick's Day is this week so we pulled out our bucket of Perler Beads this weekend to make some fun St. Patrick's Day crafts with the kids. Anytime I am looking for a kid craft that will keep my kids busy for a long time I turn to the melty beads. 

Every time we end up making Perler Bead designs the bucket of beads stays out for a long time and the kids have fun playing with them and creating. I love anything that encourages that creativity I my kids so I love it. 

I enjoy coming up with designs we can make for different seasons, holidays, or themes, so I really wanted to make some St. Patrick's Day themed designs. 

These include a 4 leaf clover, a rainbow, the end of the rainbow, a pot of gold, a leprechaun hat, and an Irish Flag. 

How to Make St. Patrick's Day Perler Bead Designs

You will need:

• Perler Beads in a variety of colors
• Square pegboard (at least 14 x 14 pegs)
