Product Overview
This fuse bead craft kit lets kids design pixel art based on Minecraft character skins and the iconic sword, using design sheets to guide the layout on a pegboard. Once the beads are placed, an adult helps cover the design with ironing paper and fuse it together with an iron, then lets it cool before peeling it off the board. The finished piece comes with a bag clip, so it can attach to a backpack, zipper, beltloop, tote, or instrument case. The kit also makes stickers and magnets, plus a playscene for recreating favorite Minecraft moments.
