One of my favourite craft mediums is Perler beads. They are so much fun to work with. How can you not appreciate pixel art and be a geek? Flickr-er CMYBacon made these super fun and geeky Perler creations!
I stumbled on this little video by Marcus and Hannes Knutsson on Youtube and I knew I had to share it. I can’t even fathom how long it must have taken to put this together with all of the animation involved using perler beads. There are a few different similar videos by the same makers floating around Youtube, but I haven’t yet found a dedicated channel for them.

I love finding videos like this one. It absolutely makes my day. If you know of anything similar, let me know in the comments.
In the meantime, take a look at some other Mario Bros stuff on Geekcrafts!
I love Bubble Bobble. It is one of those games that I always plan to go back and actually beat, and whenever I try to sit down to try I almost immediately give up. It is SO hard. The game designers, I am convinced, actually hate me specifically.
Erin Klarer of EEKgiftshop on Etsy reminds me of my constant failure with these adorable Bub and Bob sprites done with perler beads. I have seen a few Bubble Bobble sprites in my day, but I like that these ones are actually in their bubbles. Very cute.
Make your other magnets quake with fear with these awesome ninja magnets!
Do you have problems with people stealing stuff out of your fridge at night? With these magnets, your problems will go away! Just be careful not to drop a spoon.
Daleks and perler beads? I’m there! Debra features this Perler Dalek Picture Frame, and many other geek-tastic perler frames on her DeviantArt site, under YumeLeona23.
Geek Crafts reader Tim tipped me off to this massively amazing set of Perler bead Megaman scenes from Pixelgasm Forum user RedHerring – over 60,000 beads!!!
