Get the kids busy crafting, or even yourself, with this easy to make fun summer themed Popsicle pattern made from Perler, Hama or fused beads. I love to do these patterns outside once the weather turns warmer and I can enjoy making them up on a tray out in the fresh air. This cute and colorful little Perler bead popsicle pattern can easily be made into a magnet to display on a refrigerator or how about turning it into a cute key chain to wear off a belt loop or a bag. Fused bead crafts are fun for all the family to enjoy and they work out to be inexpensive to make as well once you have the basic supplies already. They also make fab group crafts for girl scouts, school and homeschool craft projects and activities.
