Learn how to make a Hello Kitty door hanger using simple supplies! Kids will love this easy perler bead project they can hang on their bedroom door.
Skills Required: None. Even if you’ve never crafted before, this door hook is easy to make. You’ll be melting beads with an iron. The pattern is at the bottom of the post.
I don’t know if you know this, but Hello Kitty was initially known as “the white kitten with no name.” Because the brand Sanrio had a motto of social communication, they decided to name her Hello Kitty!
And you have to admit, her face is very friendly.
I learned an additional fact about her recently which is that she is British! I never thought about her being from a specific country, but apparently she is.
We love our readers from Great Britain! And obviously, we love Hello Kitty.
After doing some Hello Kitty perler beads, a 3D kitty, and a Hello Kitty organizer recently, my niece and I decided to take our love to the next level by making a Hello Kitty door hanger!
And it’s made out of perler beads! It’s super durable and easy to make, which is great. You can also customize the colors with any that you like.
This is a super fun summer craft or boredom buster that kids are going to love. Not that you can’t make it any time of year!
Just so you know, perler beads are recommended for ages six and up. So this is fun to make together with the littles. All children seem to love perler beads (also known as hama beads, fuse beads, or melty beads). But don’t be shy – adults love them too!
Hello Kitty Door Hook
Now if you’re ready to make the hanger, here’s the pattern! You’ll either need two 29 x 29 boards (and link them together) or an extra large pegboard to fit this.
This pattern uses 268 black, 163 robin’s egg, 195 bright green, 18 dark green, 16 pink, 6 yellow, 17 red, and 123 white beads.
Since this is going to be hanging on a door knob or handle, make sure to fuse both sides of the beads really well. You don’t want the project to fall apart with opening or closing of the door.
