@beadkidsbeading: We are making 3 sizes of a Bubble gum Machine out of 6x9 mm pony beads, 4x6 mm pony beads, or 5x5 mm perler or fuse beads, plastic drinking straws and string. We used beadkids.com bead board to lay out our pattern and the 5 inch needles from beadkids.com to string our project. Bead creative!!! full tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYw62rB27MA
