Mario Theme Coasters

I was just browsing along the internet for inspiring crafty projects. and I came across this awesome set! A Mario coaster set, complete with a box for storing the coasters. This is way more intricate than most perler bead sets I've seen, with actual scenes and backgrounds to each coaster.

 

My boyfriend would DIE if I made him something like this.

I need to go purchase some perler beads... asap.

Thanks again to Craftster.com for helping me in my search for all things crafty!

Cross-Stitched Tetris Magnets

I'm so excited I found this tutorial on how to make 
cross-stitched Tetris magnets 
(you can also use these as Christmas ornaments or little grab bag gifts). 


This tutorial at Craftster shows you how to make a cross stitched pattern, 
but you can also make these with perler beads, 
but I think the cross stitch looks much more interesting and unique.

Mario Bros. Zen Garden

Miss Cuddlefish at Craftster.org made this amazing Mario Zen Garden.
