You might already be familiar with kids' Hama beads (also known as Perler beads), but have you ever seen them look so stylish? You can buy Hama beads by the jar at IKEA, as well as at craft and toy stores.
Australian designer/maker extraordinaire Lisa Tilse of The Red Thread used colour judiciously to repurpose children's Hama beads as a stunning on-trend fashion accessory for grown-ups. You can follow her easy step-by-step tutorial over on Tuts+ and make a gorgeous beaded cuff for yourself this weekend.
