But because the mat is flexible, it&#8217;s difficult to transfer the mat into the lamp when loaded up with resin coated pieces. The pieces can fall off and the resin runs all over the place.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">SO&#8230; I used a CD Case under the flexible mat for support&#8230; which does work nicely.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">When I did that resin video, I got a comment from a fellow YouTuber by the name Craftmama. She suggested using a Perler Bead or Hama Bead board as a doming tray instead.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">So when I was at my local craft store (DeSerres this time), I picked up a pack of two 5 1\/2&#8243; x 5 1\/2 Square Hama Bead Boards to test out.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Sure enough they worked perfectly! Thanks Craftmama!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Perler Beads and Hama Beads are these large hole plastic &#8216;beads&#8217; that you put out on a peg board in different pixel patterns. The plastic beads are then fused using an iron, into a cute 2 dimensional designs. Kids (and adults) make charms, coasters and different designs for playing with, or decorating their rooms. The Perler Bead Boards come in all kinds of shapes, which can be linked together to make larger designs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">I decided to pick up a bag of multi colored Perler Beads to put on the board. This is a useful technique for planning out Pixelated Cane Designs. This gives me a 2 for 1 use for these little plastic boards.<\/span><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><a name=\"video\"><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Kkl3JZSgt6E?rel=0\" width=\"575\" height=\"323\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Amazon Affiliate Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/amzn.to\/2l3YMWo\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"external external_icon\">Perler Bead Boards<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=19269#video\">Applying Ultradome UV Epoxy Resin To Polymer Clay<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=7922\">UltraDome UV Curing Epoxy Resin for Polymer Clay<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=19645#video\">Melody Susie 12W LED Curing Light<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Related Video: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beadsandbeading.com\/blog\/?p=19284#video\">Polymer Clay Nail Art Madam Glam UV Gel Polish<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Do you have any suggestions for videos on tips, techniques or products you would like to learn more about?
