<p>Etsy member <em>lostmitten</em> from Ontario, Canada has used Perler beads to create these adorable Pac-Man coasters and the included storage box, which goes in the same cool retro gaming style.</p>
<p><span id="more-1235"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>
The coaster box is Pacman themed &#8211; with Pacman on the back, power pellets going around the outside of the box, and a cherry on the bottom of the box. There are six coasters &#8211; four ghosts in red, pink, blue, and orange; a dark blue ghost that Pacman tries to eat, and Pacman.</p>
<p>The coasters are square and measure approx. 3&#8243; by 3&#8243;, and they will fit any size of glass. The coaster box is approximately 3 1/2&#8243; length by 3 1/2&#8243; width by 3&#8243; tall. The beads for the box are fused together and then sturdy contact cement is used to hold the sides together.
</p></blockquote>
