I\u2019m glad you asked.<br \/>\nHama Beads are small plastic beads\/tubes that are placed one by one on a pegboard and then ironed until the beads are fused together. They are available at some craft stores, online and even IKEA.<br \/>\nSupplies are relatively inexpensive so this would be great fun to make with the kids, Just make sure you do the ironing.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/2012\/12\/how-to-space-invaders-christmas-ornaments.html\/space-invader-cg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4718\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" size-full wp-image-4718 aligncenter\" title=\"Space invader ornament My Poppet\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/space-invader-cg.jpg\" alt=\"Geek Christmas ornaments\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/space-invader-cg.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/space-invader-cg-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/space-invader-cg-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nA little while ago I created these Christmas decorations for for <a href=\"https:\/\/craft.tutsplus.com\/\">Crafttuts+<\/a>, you can find the <a href=\"https:\/\/craft.tutsplus.com\/tutorials\/decorations\/make-a-set-of-space-invaders-christmas-ornaments\/\">full patterns and instructions<\/a> over there.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LOVE IT?
