Christmas is definitely the time of year for Hama Bead crafting; if you haven’t already found it, take a look at our archive of Christmas Hama Bead Patterns available for free on the site.

This year Hama brought out some lovely new Christmas themed Hama Bead kits which have been very popular. Combining tradition flat designs and 3D, they really give you something to work on and have lovely colours and detail to the designs.

Hama Bead Snowman in 3D

Hama Bead Angel Designs.

Hama Bead Santa

The single use Snowman and Santa Press boards also continue to be popular, ideal for hanging decorations and as an easy, no iron craft and you can also buy the reusable Santa pegboard separately. Don’t forget you’ll need some Midi Hama Beads to go along with it though! Why not try out the metallic gold and silver or maybe the pearl for angel dresses?

Over at our family blog Patch of Puddles, we are doing regular craft updates of ideas for kids and adults in the run up to Christmas. Why not take a look?
