I&#8217;ve always thought it was cool, and have kept it around somewhere handy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When my girlfriend suggested I make a Nintendo controller business card for my next video, I immediately went in search of how I could get my hands on some of these beads. It turns out they&#8217;re pretty cheap, and easy to get.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although I borrowed the idea from an etsy post, I tweaked the pattern just a bit to look more like an actual NES controller. Of course it&#8217;s probably simpler to get one from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.etsy.com\/listing\/10184086\/card-holder-nintendo-nes-controller\" target=\"_blank\">original etsy listing<\/a>. But it&#8217;s my intention to eventually complete the Final Fantasy set of characters with beads.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/thatsps.com\/nes_cardholder\/pattern.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" title=\"Download the NES Cardholder Pattern\" src=\"http:\/\/thatsps.com\/nes_cardholder\/pattern_small.png\" alt=\"Download the NES Cardholder Pattern\" width=\"243\" height=\"315\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a>You&#8217;re going to need:<\/p>\n<p>1 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B003W15PEA\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=httpyoutube06-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B003W15PEA\" target=\"_blank\">Peg Board<\/a><br \/>\n26 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000I0RPQY\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=httpyoutube06-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000I0RPQY\" target=\"_blank\">Red Beads<\/a><br \/>\n240 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B000I0RPTG\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=httpyoutube06-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B000I0RPTG\" target=\"_blank\">Black Beads<\/a><br \/>\n391 &#8211; Grey Beads<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B001CDTZYQ\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=httpyoutube06-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B001CDTZYQ\" target=\"_blank\">Wax Paper<\/a>\u00a0(Mine came with the pegboard)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0042IYKJ8\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=httpyoutube06-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0042IYKJ8\" target=\"_blank\">Tweezers<\/a>\u00a0(For placing the beads)<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00081EQ0Q\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=httpyoutube06-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00081EQ0Q\" target=\"_blank\">An Iron<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B0002KR9DY\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=httpyoutube06-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B0002KR9DY\" target=\"_blank\">Hot Glue Gun<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Putting the front and back together is pretty straight forward. Just follow the pattern and put the right beads in the right spot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Put the wax paper on top and iron the beads. They should melt together after a short while.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Flip them over, and melt the other side.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once the front and back are done, it&#8217;s time to build the side and bottom pieces. These are even simpler since there&#8217;s only one colour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Iron these pieces, flip and iron the other side. Don&#8217;t forget the wax paper, or you&#8217;ll melt the plastic directly onto your iron.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Gluing it all together is the tricky part.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Start with the bottom piece, gluing it along the long side and sticking it to the bottom of a controller.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Then glue the side and bottom for each side piece.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The last piece is the hardest. You have to be REAL quick or the glue will dry before you have a chance to get the controller piece on. And be careful not to glue it upside down like I did. Twice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And that&#8217;s all there is to it. One nintendo controller business card holder.
