Decided to have a go myself....I got the kid's beads colour separated in jars already so they only took 20min each to make. I'm now working on the box to keep them in.So that's one Christmas gift for my sister done

She also got the pattern for Bubble Bobble and Super Mario

I have just been asked to make a tiara, but the supplier I have always used for tiara bands went bust last year, I have searched around but can only find silver plated bands, which I won't use as thay look cheap, any tiara makers out there that can help by telling me which company they use? Thanks.

greenpixey they are fantastic!!!!!!

I had Hama beads when I was younger, loved doing them and can't wait until my DD is old enough for them! I had a huge tub and I mixed all the colours up, I used to sit out in the garden and do them, until one day I spilt the tub and getting them off the grass was not an easy job!! lol!! plus I remember coming home from school to find younger bro had been in my room and tipped them everywhere!!! lol!!!

I think they look great as the beads make it look "pixelated" just like a computer, I had a browse on the site and the mario ones are fab aswell, think I might have a go at this one for my younger bro who is a huge mario fan! Good excuse to go and buy some beads etc, and put them away for DD after!!
