Perler Bead Christmas Village [Part 2] - Gingerbread House with Chimney
About this experience
This is a intermediate class where you will be learning to use perler beads. Perler recommends this project for ages 6+ but I recommend 8+. This project will be approx. 6-8 cube space. There will be a pattern to follow but you are incharge of the colors you want your gingerbread house to be. You should be able to complete this project within the class time frame. If you do not, most of the supplies are yours to keep to finish at home :) I will show you the proper way to melt the beads. It is easy to melt the beads too much or not enough. For this project, it is imperitive that the beads are not melted too much, otherwise you'll have to start over.
You will be making the 4 sides of the gingerbread house and 2 roof sides. I will have all the base plates, windowsills, trees, lampposts, and fences completed for you, so you have enough time to complete your house. I will also have extra roof pieces incase you do not want to make your own. Lastly, I will also have chimneys done for you. But you will have the option of making your own to match your house :)
