Description When someone thinks classic Mario, they think an Italian plumber stepping on creatures, busting blocks, collecting coins, and looking for Princesses (who are always in another castle). Here are some of the various classic icons of Mario, ready to hold your drinks!

Coasters included are:
~Fire Flower
~Red Koopa Shell
~Cloud
~Star
~Mushroom

Again, something I made for my boyfriend, who absolutely loooooooves them. I think this might even be cooler than the coin box. They just look really good! I'll post pics of all the coasters, too.

Available on my Etsy, for those interested: [link]

This....
Is....
Epic...

Bead art in general is cool, but seeing somebody go as far as making coasters and a holder out of beads is beyond awesome.

Thank you very much! I sold my first set yesterday, so I'm excited to see that everyone else really likes it! Coaster sets are fun to make. I'm thinking of a Zelda on next...

Congratulations on selling your first!

I'm surprised that not as many people are buying your stuff considering Nintendo's popularity.

Best of luck selling more work!

It's probably my fault since I don't advertise at all, so it's hard for people to find my stuff. Thanks for the well wishes!

i have 3 quick question
1. what brand of beads are these?
2. after seeing this i want to make my own any quick tips
3. awesome Coasters

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

i-am-a-decoy In reply to matachu [2010-11-02 20:10:07 +0000 UTC]

1. Perler Beads. People in the UK use Hama beads, but they're really hard to get in the US. It's a shame, too, because they make mini beads which I would love to use!
2. Tweezers! They make it so much faster! Also, I use hot glue to construct the box, if you plan on making that, too.
3. ... That's not a question, but thanks! XD

Awesome! A really creative use of those fuse beads. They perfectly replicate the 8-bit pixels of the classic NES games.
