Calling all lovers of Harry Potter and Perler beads! This Golden Snitch craft is just for you. Here's how to make your very own DIY 3D Golden Snitch.... from Perler beads!
DIY 3D Harry Potter Golden Snitch Perler Bead Craft
*Side note: I did not create this 3D Perler Bead craft. My eldest son did! :)
*Another side note: You can also watch a sped-up version of my son building the snitch on IG!
1. Here are the pieces that you'll need to make a golden snitch. When you've placed the beads in place, carefully iron them. You don't want to iron them too flat, otherwise, the pieces won't fit together properly.
(I've placed the items into 5 different rows in the photo below. You'll be referring to this photo as you snap together your golden snitch.)
2. Snap together the four identical pieces from the 4th row in the photo.
You should create something like this:
3. Grab the four identical pieces from the 2nd row. Snap those pieces on top of what you made in step 2.
You should now have this:
Here's what it will look like from another perspective.
4. Snap the wings (row 1) into the smaller identical remaining pieces (row 3.)
5. Then, snap the wing pieces into the two remaining identical pieces (row 5).
Then, snap your wing pieces onto the rest of the body.
And you're all set!
If you try this craft out, please tag me on Instagram (@PinkStripeySocks) and let me know. My son would love to hear of other kids making his craft.
Happy creating and connecting!!
