I thought for my first DIY I would do something that is easily done and quick to make. I also incorporated a nerdy element by making it Minecraft themed!
You will need:
Perler/Hama beads
Ironing paper
Pegged Template
Thread.or String
An iron
All you need to do is chose an item/mob from Minecraft and use the perler beads as pixels! I made a rose and a torch which were really easy and only took me 15 minutes each.

| Rose template |
Don't worry about it not looking enough like blocks yet it will come with the next step.
Now you need to use the ironing paper it should come with instructions but if not you can use mine.
Lay your template on a flat surface and place the paper over top, gently iron until every bead has melted together. Remove the paper and take your piece off the template (the white thing underneath my rose and torch) and flip your piece over then repeat on the other side.
Once every bead is joined you can thread something through the holes and use as a necklace or just hang it somewhere!

You can do it with anything with Minecraft like graphics, I made a space invader too!
