DIY Perler Bead Poo Emoji

With summer in full swing I am still trying to keep my teens entertained, and sometimes that means doing silly things. My 14 year old is obsessed with the poo emoji, and so I thought I would create a poo emoji using perler beads. For my silhouette cameo users this is an item you could personalize by adding vinyl initials. I have been planning a few projects using this emoji and various hashtags that my son has asked for, and this is the first of many that will be on my site in the coming weeks. Want a different emoji? Tell me what you are looking for in the comments and I will see what I can do. If you have a Silhouette or other vinyl cutting machine be sure to join my Rockin The Silhouette With Beads Group to learn how you can add vinyl to these, and many other perler bead projects.
