Looking for a creative, fun and colorful way to celebrate the arrival of spring? This tutorial is for you! Here's how to make an Easter decoration using HAMA beads, an easy-to-implement handicraft activity ideal for keeping young and old busy during the vacations or at weekends. Perfect for creating a cheerful, festive atmosphere at home!
HAMA beads, also known as iron-on beads, are very easy to handle. They are placed on a picot plate to form a pattern, then fixed with an iron and ironing paper for Hama Mini Midi and Maxi beads. The result is always very satisfying: beaded characters or shapes that can be hung, placed on a shelf, or even transformed into a decorative garland.
In this special Easter tutorial, we'll guide you step-by-step through the creation of two adorable, emblematic characters: a cute little yellow chick and a funny bunny with big ears. In addition, you can make six Easter eggs in a variety of patterns, to be personalized with the colors of your choice. To give free rein to your imagination, you can personalize your creations with our wide choice of Hama Midi ironing bead colors available on our site.
Accessible from age 6 with the help of an adult, this DIY activity requires few materials: HAMA beads, a suitable plate, ironing paper and an iron. Get the whole family involved in this convivial activity and create a 100% DIY decor, full of charm and good humor!
