Materials

  • Wooden Popsicle Stick
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Perler Beads 
  • Perler Beads Base 
  • Parchment Paper or Wax Paper 
  • Iron (for adults to use)

Instructions

  • Place the perler beads in a pattern on the perler bead base. We liked to do two rows of beads for extra durability. Leave a hole in the middle to blow bubbles through. Since you are designing your own bubble wand, you can make it any shape you want, like a traditional circle, or cute heart, or star... it's up to you. Get CREATIVE and have FUN!
    Once your pattern is completed, cover the top with parchment paper. (If you are using wax paper, place the waxy side down onto the perler beads.) Place the iron on top of the paper and move it slowly to melt the beads together (adult only). You don't want your bubble blower to fall apart, so make sure to check and see that the beads have fused together. 
    Carefully remove the parchment paper from the back of the bubble wand. 
    To make the handle of your bubble wand, use the glue gun to add a dab of glue to the bottom of your bubble wand. Now place a popsicle stick onto the glue and press down firmly. Now you're ready for lots of fun with bubbles!
