DIY TMNT Pizza Push Pins
MATERIALS YOU WILL NEED
6 pushpins or thumb tacks
60 perler beads: 12 red, 24 brown and 24 yellow
perler bead peg board and ironing paper
iron and ironing pad
glue gun and glue sticks
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS
I used the star pegboard to make six pieces of pizza; one on each point. You can use any pegboard. Use tweezers or your fingers to do this project.
Start with the brown perler beads; four across creates the crust. Then add two pepperonis with your red perler beads and fill the rest in with cheese. Repeat this process to make as many pieces of pizza as you want.
Cover the beads with an ironing paper and iron the pieces until they are slightly melted together. Some people like their perler beads more melty. And some like them less melty. If you like a more melted look, just iron them for longer.
Use hot glue to attach push pins to the back of each piece of pizza.
