There’s no better time to start creating meaningful and fun Christmas traditions that will create memories for the whole family to cherish. Below we’re sharing our favorite traditions for celebrating Christmas, along with a few new traditions to start this year.

I have recently created many Christmas ornaments using Artkal and Perler beads, you can refer to some of them or share your ideas with me

Snowflake

I saw a lot of cool snowflake patterns when I was browsing on Pinterest. When they are grouped together, they look really cool. I use Perler and Artkal beads they are very compatible and can create snowflake patterns in a variety of colors they are easy to adjust which will make each snowflake look different.

Holly

You can’t deck the halls without some holly, right? Well here’s a holly Perler Bead pattern to help you deck away.  Fa la la la la, la la la la.  

It’s a simple Perler Bead design on a small square pegboard.If you don’t have two shades of green, don’t worry about it.You can use just one color of green or use black if you still want to keep the accents

Perler Bead Santa Hat

I thought I would finish off my list of easy Christmas Perler Bead patterns with a Santa hat.  I actually created my Santa Hat by using the pattern for the witches hat in my Halloween post.  That’s one of the great thing about Perler Beads, they are so flexible…you make a witches hat…change a few beads, and it’s a Santa hat.

Perler Bead Bumble Bees

OMG, how cute are these little bumble bees?  I honestly wanted to make a dozen of them. Like all the spring Perler Bead patterns in this post, they are easy to make.  Plus you only need 3 colors, yellow, black and white.

Hockey is one of the most popular of all the winter sports.  For some parts of Canada and the Northern United States, it’s a way of life.  Although this simple hockey stick Perler Bead pattern is based on a traditional wooden hockey stick, you can easily customize it to suit your tastes since its the angle of the stick that makes it look like a hockey stick.  

Perler Bead Ice Skate

I remember heading to the ice rink as a kid to go ice skating.  It was always so much fun. We always rented our ice skates, and this Perler Bead ice skate looks just like the ones we got at the rink. This Perler Bead ice skate also seems like it would be the perfect size to make into an ornament for your Christmas tree.

Perler Bead Penguin

This penguin design is very similar to the snowman pattern.  BUT, he looks totally different. I wanted to point that out because I love how flexible Perler Beads can be when you use your imagination.

Another Perler Bead Snowman Pattern

Since I couldn’t fit the hat on my first Perler Bead snowman, I decided to make one that was just a head.  I think he turned out really cute, but I’m not 100% on the eyes. I like the green, but they may have looked better in just black.  Give it a try if you are experimenting with the colors on the snowman pattern.
