We’ve had a crush on the colorful objects made by Kate at minieco for a couple years now. The swooning started with these pixelated heart pop-up cards and has been fostered by clever uses of paper, washi tape, perler beads, and now, wooden beads! This latest find would be a great project for parents and kids to do together, or could be remixed with a more limited color palette to create a totally grown-up statement necklace. The key here is scouting out cube-shaped wooden beads, and getting up close and personal with sandpaper. Get super colorful how-to here!

Shoutout: Unlike Trix, These Geometric Beads Ain’t Just for Kids
