How-to make a My Pet Monster perler bead ornament

I used mini perler beads for this ornament.  The mini beads are super small.  You need tweezers to pick them up and to arrange the pattern.  You will also need a pegboard, an iron, and the iron paper.  

Here is the pattern.  If you’ve used perler beads before, make sure your iron is hot enough.  I had mine too low and when I picked up the iron, the beads went flying everywhere.  

After the beads are fused, thread a needle using sparkly thread.  Poke a hole through the top, then tie off.

He is ready to go up on the tree!
