Mario Coasters

I know, pretty typical project, but my girls love them - they requested most of them. There's two others that aren't here - a 1-Up mushroom and a ! block. My husband requested the spiny; that's the coaster he keeps on his desk.
Most of these are made of IKEA PYSSLA beads, which really suck. Mario and Luigi are made with actual perlers.

I like them! The backgrounds/borders really make them stand out!

Thanks.

Not so easy when you're restricted to 10 colours!

Cool! I've made a bubble bobble set as well. do u hot glue cork coaster backs onto them? I do because then moisture wont seep thru the perler bead holes.

The only one I put a backing on was one that I made for my husband at work; I put sticky-back felt on the back. I HAVE a roll of cork around here, but I can't find it... when I do I'll put it on the backs of the coasters.
Here it is, if you want to see it.

Apologies for the photo quality - his phone doesn't take very nice close shots.
I've got a few others too, that I've been meaning to post.
