Tips for Using Perler BeadsWith the pegboards provided, bring your favourite animals to life by placing the coloured beads onto your pegboard! When you’re done, place an ironing sheet over your design, iron over the top and then remove the sheet. The beads will fuse together to give you an instant masterpiece! You can make so many cool projects with Perler beads and Halloween is the perfect time for some Perler bead crafting! These cute little Halloween creatures use the stripey Perler beads and also some super cool glow in the dark beads! A few of these patterns are larger than a 29 x 29 pegboard, so you’ll either need a extra large pegboard(49 x 69 tall) or to put multiple square peg boards together to form a larger “canvas.” I typically start with easier, smaller patterns in my list and then move on to the more advanced ones. You’ll see several different versions of ghosts, witches, pumpkins, etc. with increasingly larger patterns; just keep scrolling!
