Perler Bead Alphabet
"These perler bead letters can be used in an array of DIY projects as an embellishment, glue a magnet on the back, or string it up and use it as an ornament, gift tag or a garland - so many fun ways to use them! They are so quick and easy to make, and this DIY tutorial includes free patterns and video tutorials for all 26 letters. I like to use the 5 3/4″ pegboards that come with the puzzle piece edges so they can be interlocked. I keep them separated, but then am able to set 4 letters at a time, and then go to my ironing station, and fuse them."
