#Pony beads patterns tv

The reason I am exposing my nerdy tendencies is this: as I was doing the Van Gogh craft I wanted to use Perler beads for detail and translucent pony beads for the sun-catcher part. This is the tic tac “bow” board we made, prior to melting it. Although, it made it easy to line the beads up in a grid. You have to be very careful not to bump it or tip it or you may have to start over! We used parchment paper for the board but you don’t have to. I assembled my bead version of “Starry Night” over two days. You may want to start with something smaller like the tic tac toe board or a small sun-catcher to get a feel for the melting times. Doing a large project like the Starry Night one isn’t too difficult but it takes a long time to finish. I used a combination of Pony and Perler beads for the Starry Night project. I also made a tic tac toe board using the same technique (The tic tac toe board was my son’s idea and it was a good one!). You certainly don’t need to watch (or care) about BBC programming to enjoy this craft. These are sold in craft and hobby stores.

They are usually sold to be used in a preset pegged design and then fused together by passing an iron over it. I also wanted to have better control of the dark areas: I decided I’d use Perler beads there. It’s here: ) I also thought there had to be a way to make the pony bead version look more interesting (the colors in the original were very plain in the sunlight). I saw the original starry night pony bead sun-catcher and I said to myself: this just needs a TARDIS (Doctor Who reference) and it would be perfect! (I had seen a starry night painting online with the TARDIS in it before. It definitely affected my sense of humor! To celebrate my inner nerd (Who am I kidding? I’m all nerd!) I did a bunch of Doctor Who themed crafts for the season premier, this being one of them.

I would hand tune my TV dial to PBS and watch everything BBC as often as I could. (This seems like a random admission at this point, but keep reading.) I love BBC programing and I have since I was a kid. So, now I am going to come out of the closet and admit to being a Doctor Who fan. You can find it here: Van Gogh’s Starry Night. I also like a challenge and since I saw a pony bead version of Van Gogh’s Starry Night on Pinterest I figured I could do that as my grown-up craft. I bought two big bags of pony beads and then separated them by color and put them into sandwich bags. If you want a stained glass look: make sure you use translucent beads. On one of my visits to Pinterest I saw some melted pony bead crafts and I thought it would be fun to do them with my kids. I don’t do it often because it’s like going to an all you can eat buffet: I think I can eat (or do) way more than reality will allow me to. Every once in a while I end up on Pinterest.
