[QUOTE]Debbie, you mean these little cylindrical bead things?? (yes, I am 24, and yes, I still play with them.  These are our 'new' coasters for our apartment. We even incorporated Super Nintendo!)

Nintendo-related fuse bead coasters? You are my hero.

haha thanks :)  I think this makes us cooler as a couple... but we definitely have a Wii with all the "popular fancy games" but we still play super mario kart on the SNES; sometimes while watching Disney movies. <div>
</div><div>Maybe we're really just 6 year-olds trapped in 24 year-old bodies.  I'm ok with it!</div><div>
</div><div>Also. the coasters were super easy to make! I cheated and found a pattern online.<span style="white-space:pre;" class="Apple-tab-span"> </span></div>

Yeah...I definitely wanna make fuse bead coasters now!!! Those are adorable!

The Disney cartoons are the worst for getting stuck in my head.  Rescue Rangers, Duck Tales, Tail Spin, Gummy Bears, Darkwing Duck...just terrible.

Steph0871

I wish there was a way to put these on my wedding registry:

Bimbi! Chicago-based MN bride GTG proposal: DIY fuse bead coaster party

Steph: Sadly, we don't have a Wii. I got FI an XBox360 a while back, but he plays it waaaaay more than me.

However. I challenge you to a game of N64 Mario Kart and/or Mario Party 1, 2, or 3. It's been a few years and I may be rusty, but dang I was good ...

Steph0871

eh, I don't believe in N64, sorry.  Super Nintendo though, and you're on!

UPDATE: I definitely just added the beads to our Target registry, and I have no regrets.  (although that might be the 2 glasses of wine talking.)  

Bimbi284

Debbie...I am SO in for that! LOL....and as for Mario Kart...I totally suck at that game, so you would SO win. 

Just curious (and not to sound creepy), in which 'hood do you live? I'm in Lakeview.

Bimbi284

OMG Steph!! That is awesome!!! I'm tempted to do the same, lol!

Perhaps I could create something like this?? It's definitely practical!

debbieupper

I'm in Wicker Park! Loooooove it. Love Lakeview, too! We'll have to get around to this GTG soon.
