I suppose I could sell them on etsy and justify it that way lol... --- Don't ask. <cite>Greenfox111 posted [p:893847752] in been think...

Get a bunch of the square pegboards and then buy the beads in bulk. You can buy direct from the manufacturers, or go off places like eBay. I'll see if I can dig up the vendor I usually use (it's been a while since I've actually made anything, so I haven't had to restock in a long time). EDIT: The vendor I used apparently isn't in operation anymore. Anyways, there's four different brands of beads which are all cross-compatible: Perler, Hama, Nabbi, and Artkal. Take a look through all of them, as they actually all offer mostly different colours and having different shades can make sprites look really good. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
