Pyssla N/Perler/Hama beads Tutorial

This is a re-blog post.(＝ｗ＝)  It's all about Pyssla N beads .aka. Perler beads .aka. Hama beads. I have blogged the tutorial at my old blog(Teenydiaries/Teensydiaries) before and since I've turned it into a private blog, I think I should reblog it here. What I did was just copied everything from my old blog post and then PASTE it here! Wow, easy huh!? *laughs*

Without further ado, shall we start? (Yes, of course! *laughs nervously*)


Instructions:
1. Place your pegboard on a flat surface.
2. Create your design by placing the beads onto the pegboard. Make sure you place the beads next to each other on the pegboard so that when you heat them using the iron, they will fuse together.
3. Preheat your household iron to medium.
4. Place the iron or parchment paper over the finish design and move the iron in a circular motion gently over the beads for 10 seconds. *Make sure you place the iron or parchment paper over the finish design when you iron!*
5. Wait for the design to cool before removing the iron or parchment paper!

First of all, you will need the following items...

Pyssla beads and pegboards. Don't forget your iron and parchment paper!

Design No. #1: Rainbow~

You will need..................................
- a round, circle pegboard
- 19 red beads
- 12 orange beads
- 11 yellow beads
- 10 green beads
- 7 blue beads
- 36 white beads.

Design No. #2: Giraffe

Again, you will need a square pegboard. A larger one... I didn't count the number of beads for this design because I'm lazy~ (^_^;)

Okay anyway, zoom-in for a better view.
Is this counted as a tutorial? I don't know. Lol. But anyway, have fun playing with Pyssla N beads!(:

P/S: I bought the beads from IKEA(Singapore).

Review: Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner

Mood:

Recently, I bought a new black eyeliner from Watsons. Before I actually went to the drugstore to make a purchase, I did a small little research about it. Well, as you know...there are a variety of eyeliners out there and some have long lasting, waterproof and smudge-proof effect while some don't. While some claimed that it's long-lasting, waterproof and smudge-proof however, it's not that effective! Choosing an eyeliner, 1)long-lasting, 2)waterproof , 3)smudge-proof and 4)does apply smoothly are very important okay! *laughs*

For me, I prefer using pencil/crayon eyeliner instead of those liquid and gel eyeliner. Anyway, as I've said, I did a small little research on the eyeliner that I was interested in before making a purchase. Ya? I was really afraid that I wasted my money on buying eyeliner that lack of those 4 points I've mentioned above.
I was using Maybelline Unstoppable Eyeliner previously and it sucks! It claimed that it's smudge-proof however it's DOES smudge! (≧д≦) In the official website, it also claimed that it's waterproof but I don't think it is. Well, I had bad experience using it. Maybe it just doesn't suit me... Therefore, I decided to repurchase a "better" eyeliner from the drugstore~ And I'm smarter this time(laughs!), I did the research before heading down to the drugstore. Yea yeaaa... (*＾д＾*)v  

By the way, the eyeliner I bought was from Revlon, ColorStay! ↴

There are lots of good reviews regarding to this eyeliner...so I bought it. *laughs nervously* I haven't get to try it out on my eyes yet but I tested it out on the back of my hand and rub it with my finger. It does apply smoothly without the tug and pull kind of thing... It glides on really realllly smoothly and doesn't smudge! *thumbs-up* I ran it under the tap and rubbed at it and it still stays intact! So yea, it's definitely water-resistant. Based on this 'experiment', I think that this is a really awesome drugstore eyeliner~☆

For those of you who want your eyeliner to be sharp all the time, ............

Guess what? there's a sharpener at the back of the eyeliner! You can refine the tip using the sharpener whenever you want! Ermmm...information that I read online.......some people said that the sharpener doesn't work. LOL! Have no idea about the sharpener stuff cause I haven't use it yet! (｀_´)ゞ

So......, that's my short review on Revlon ColorStay Eyeliner. Hope you(readers) find it useful~ (´^з･)ﾉ
