mjengels 10 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 I was wondering if anyone did anything cool for centerpieces or table favors for Cubs in the Future. I wanted to make these cute space people zipper pulls out of beads but I dont know how to fuse them together. http://www.makingfriends.com/perler_space.htm Thank Link to post Share on other sites
EagerLeader 9 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Oh, I've used those goofy little beads.... boy do they make a mess when you drop them on the floor! You need to cover the design with something and use a hot iron to fuse them, the instructions come with the beads. Definitely need adult supervision if the boys will be doing these!

Lucky Red Lion 10 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Those are Perler Beads. They come in many colors including neon and glow in the dark. You have to lay them out on a template that fits tiny spikes into th eholes on the beads. The beads come in a bucket with several templates and a reuseable protective paper that you place on top of the bead layout before fusing with a hot iron. You would probably have to freeform your rocket or space cub design. Not sure how you'd fuse the snaphook on--pass through the top bead before ironing or use string. I've seen the beads in craft supply shops, Target/Walmart toy section, and I think Toys-R-us. Good luck! Link to post Share on other sites
clydesdale115 10 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 For our B/G, each den will be assigned one part of the Scout uniform and needs to design it as it might look in the future. This is supposed to end up being our table centerpiece. Not eactly sure how that's going to play out - having a pair of pants or a belt as your centerpiece? huh? Seems like Cubs In The Future goes perfectly with "outer space and planets" theme - 1,000 ideas come to mind for that centerpiece :-) Take Me To Your Leader! Link to post Share on other sites
Advancement_Lady 10 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Does anyone know of any good websites that has "Cubs in the Future" or space related crafts? Link to post Share on other sites
jdtaber 10 Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 This theme "Cubs of the Future" interested absolutely no one on the Blue and Gold committee, nor any of our Cubs that we talked to. Our theme this year is "Hollywood". The boys will make bowtie neckerchief slides and their own Hollywood stars. The Fellers cake bake will feature cakes representing Hollywood movies and we may make movie posters with the boys' faces in them. Ideas began flowing like water when we agreed on this theme.
