Pokemon Badge Shadow Box Perler Display

Check out this Perler Bead Pokemon Badge display that a friend of mine made a couple of weeks ago for his girlfriend’s birthday. Awwwwww.

Shadow Box Pokemon Perler Bead Badges

He’s displayed the badges in a shadow box frame, set out from the backing on a few extra beads for that 3D look, and finished it with a Pokemon blue and yellow surround. The lady in question is apparently a huge Pokemon nut, so hopefully really appreciated his efforts! Who said romance was dead..?

Good job, Chubbs :P

Youtube Video: Super Mario Beads

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!
