Materials:

Perler beads in different colors (yellow, orange, red, white, etc.) Perler bead pegboard (or any surface for arranging beads) Iron (for melting the beads) Keychain hardware (metal part that connects to the keychain) Parchment paper (to place over the beads during ironing)

Step 1:

Plan the design Start by planning the sun design. Place the beads on the pegboard to

create the shape of the sun. Use yellow beads to make the central circle of the sun. Use orange or red beads to create the sun’s rays around the central

circle. Step 2:

Arrange the beads Arrange the beads into the sun shape on the pegboard. For the sun rays, you can place the beads diagonally around the central

circle or just in a pattern that suggests rays extending outward. Step 3: Iron the beads Place parchment paper over the beads to prevent them from

sticking to the iron. Use the iron on medium heat and iron the beads for 10-20 seconds (depending on the thickness of the beads and the heat of the

iron). Be careful to move the iron gently over the beads so they melt and fuse together without losing their shape. Step 4:

Attach the keychain

hardware Once the beads are fused and cool, use a keychain attachment to connect it to the center of the sun design. Step 5:

Final touches Now you

have a sun keychain made with perler beads! Enjoy your handmade sun keychain!
