Fuse beads/Perler beads/Hama beads

Whichever name you know them by, they're tons of fun and very versatile. They make excellent magnets and I've seen them used as key chains, picture frames, earrings, and more. I've even made 3-D shapes with them! Today's work includes at least twenty of them. I have the beads melted, and tomorrow I'll put the magnet backs and embellishments on them, and will probably make a bunch more.

I've got a popcorn tin that's perfect for displaying them at the flea market. It's large enough to hold plenty of them, and since its magnetic, I can display them on the outside too!
