Ever since watching the Totoro movie, I have been all about Totoro.  I made the large Totoro out of perler beads already... now here is my smaller Totoro.  If you've seen the movie, the little Totoro is small, white and has chicken legs.  Here is my own version

There is something magical about Volkswagen (VW) mini-buses.  They are fun looking (so different from everything else) and so versatile - you can use them to camp in, drive around in or (in Portland) live in.
In the spirit of the hippies and fun adventurers that drive these VW mini-buses still, I made a rainbow colored van!

Pegboard Size Used:
Built using one standard large square pegboard.

 In my Little Blue Truck book, he claims that the Limousine is "the longest car you've ever seen." So I looked over my beads and realized I didn't have one.  And now I do - a two-color blue limo, ready to pick you up and drive you and your friends to school.  I decided that since I was riding in a limo, it was probably a nice day (since I would have the sunroof open) - so I needed to make a sun.  So I made a sun too.

Pegboard Size Used:
Built using one standard large square pegboard - I fit both pieces on the same board.

Template:
 Made it myself.  I even decided that my limo needed pointy wheels so it did not get stuck in the mud.    You can see close up pictures below, in case you want to copy them

I love building cars & mini cars are fun, because you can build a lot very quickly.  The other day, I created this mini motorcycle and equally mini car.  These little vehicles are great for driving around my room - they are great at hiding in little corners of my room.

I created this Fire Truck out of perler beads today to add to my collection of emergency vehicles.  I love cars and things that go, so it is no surprise to see this trucks speeding through my perler bead neighborhood to help people/perlers in need.  I joke that this fire truck carries an iron to repair broken beads.

I've had a house guest all week.  Twinkle Star, the mascot of my school classroom, has been at our house.  Every week, someone at school gets to bring him home.  You take Twinkle with you on your fun activities.  You take pictures everywhere you go and then document your adventures in Twinkle's journal book. 

We took Twinkle bowling and out for dinner (in addition to a bunch of other places).  I also, made him a perler bead chain to hang on his backpack - I made a tiny Twinkle Star! 

Twinkle might look familiar, he's a star friend of Mario and Luigi (they are brothers)

This is part of my 'free-form' series of Perler beads that I have been making lately, where I use my creativity to make fun things.  This colorful and friendly monster is ready to play, despite his point arms and legs.  Hopefully you will enjoy him as much as I do.

One small star pegboard from this kit (the 6-pointed star comes in just a few other sets too)

Using a heart pegboard, it was fairly easy to create the core pattern Then, using 2 small circle pegboards, I created the wheels.  The hardest part telling Mom what I was trying to create - a Heart Car on Wheels.
Using the iron, Mom created each shape and then ironed them together.  It's not too hard, just need to create wheels that are the same size and make sure everything irons together well.
I will be giving this car to Dad for Valentines Day next month, since he knows that I love cars and him.

 Pegboard size used:
One small heart pegboard from this kit and two Circle pegboards (or the same circle twice)

Template:
Just combined my love of cars and Dad to create this perler bead that I know he'll love

Sometime it is fun just to create without a template and barely a plan - to let the beads take you where they want to go.  The top picture is my fun rainbow creation.  The bottom picture is my pointer - the things that look like flat tires are the handles.

Built using van template in this set

No template was used, I just made it up, that's what makes it art.
