One of the most prolific crafts that I have is Hama beading. You’ll find LOTS of items in the store, and I have a whole bunch more to add too. I’m sure you’ll recognise the craft.
You lay the coloured beads in a pattern on a pegboard and then iron them to fuse them together. In America the prevailing brand is called Perler, so that’s what the craft is known as there.
As much as I love when people buy my Hama pieces, it gives me a little thrill when a little kid comes up to my table at a fair, points to the Hama pieces and says something along the lines of “Mummy, I have these!” I feel like I’m renewing their interest, and I like to think they go home and get those beads out and get crafting. I’m all for spreading the craft love.
Recently I’ve been trying to work through all the things on my bucket list, and one of those things was to create a timelapse video of a Hama bead piece. And I found the perfect time to do that on March 10th – also known as Mar 10 – also known as Mar10 day!
What do you think? I used an app called Lapse It, and I need to jiggle around with the settings a little, but for a first attempt it wasn’t bad. The end result looks pretty good too….
