Ok maybe not that long, but definitely since I was a little girl crafting\u00a0at my mom\u2019s kitchen table in Michigan. I\u2019m always delighted to see how crafters\u00a0remix and reinvent this beloved craft staple. From jewelry to bike bling, it\u2019s amazing how\u00a0many things these little guys can come together to make! Teamwork, am I right? Check\u00a0out a few of our favorite fuse bead creations below!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">DIY Fuse Bead Bunting<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>see tutorial at Paper and Pin<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-619 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fusebead1-bunting.jpg\" alt=\"Fuse bead bunting\" width=\"540\" height=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;\">We love this festive take on the traditional chevron. These would make the perfect craft\u00a0for a child\u2019s birthday party or even to hang in a bedroom or playroom as handmade decoration.\u00a0Keep them varied and colorful, or go with a monochromatic color scheme for an\u00a0elevated look!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">DIY Fuse Bead Necklace<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>see tutorial at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecraftedsparrow.com\/2014\/09\/chevron-perler-bead-necklaces.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Crafted Sparrow<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-620 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fusebead2-necklace.jpg\" alt=\"fuse bead neclace\" width=\"540\" height=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Take your bead game to the next level! Again, these are quick and easy enough to be\u00a0done at birthday parties, and fashionable enough that kids will want to wear them\u00a0all year \u2019round. With a little help from mom and dad, older kids can make geometric\u00a0chevron pendants (left), while the littles work on simpler threaded versions (right).<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">DIY Watermelon Bead Bracelet<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>see tutorial at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.handmadecharlotte.com\/diy-watermelon-bead-bracelet\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Handmade Charlotte<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-621 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fusebead3-bracelet.jpg\" alt=\"fuse bead bracelet\" width=\"540\" height=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;\">What says summer quite like a juicy slice of melon? How about rocking one around your\u00a0wrist? Watermelon bead bracelets are perfect for this time of year! Durable enough for\u00a0sunny days spent poolside, and bright and cheery enough for days spent indoors. Yum!<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">DIY Bike License Plates<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>see tutorial at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.willowday.net\/2014\/07\/kids-bike-license-plates\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Willow Day<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-622 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/fusebead4-bike.jpg\" alt=\"fuse bead crafts bike plate\" width=\"540\" height=\"490\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;\">Let your crafty colors fly! I love this American flag design (I\u2019m a sucker for all things red,\u00a0white, and blue), but there are so many other fun ways you can use beads to deck out\u00a0your bike. How about a personalized nameplate, for example!? Willow Day gives an awesome\u00a0tutorial on how to use fuse beads to customize your kiddo\u2019s ride.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;\">Fuse beads will forever hold a special place in my craft closet, and seeing crazy creative\u00a0uses for these little pieces of my childhood makes my heart so happy. If you don\u2019t\u00a0know where to start, I\u2019d recommend a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/fuse-bead-bucket-BE1245\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> jumbo bead bucket<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/fuse-bead-ironing-paper-PE1693\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ironing paper<\/a>, and a fuse bead\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/fuse-bead-activity-pack-BE1205\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">activity pack<\/a> (complete with all sorts of fun shaped reusable pegboards). Together these\u00a0will launch you into the big brave beading universe!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 30px;\">I\u2019m obviously a huge fan of these little gems and would love to see what all of you do with\u00a0them! Send us pics of your creations. Who knows, you might even\u00a0give me some new ideas to work on with my own little crafty crew!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/rachel-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Rachel Faucett Handmade Charlotte\" width=\"140\" height=\"140\" \/><strong>Author: Rachel Faucett from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.handmadecharlotte.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Handmade Charlotte<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\nRachel Faucett is the mother of five ridiculously cute children and loves everyone she meets.
