Council Bluffs woman uses beads to make works of art

Perler Beads are small plastic tubes, which on their own, don't look like much. However, at the hands of Catie Hughes, they combine to create beautiful works of art. "Honestly, I started doing it because I get bored during the day," she shared. But with her creativity and patience, Catie, who's from Council Bluffs, showed she has a knack for the art form. Her mom likens it to cross stitch. "That's what I compare it to cause it has the same little squares in it, but she's putting a bead in, instead of a stitch," Shelly Schmitz explained.
