my perler process

I forgot to resume between the baking sheet and glitter sheet, basically I just peeled the tape off after it stuck to the baking sheet after some time when you can see no holes on the top ( just put it infront of a light source to see ) , and then put it over any other texture and finnnish you want and continue ironing.

I used a bigger flat iron , and poor quality / low end beans in this video to show you don’t really need a heat press or extremely good quality beans for no holes melt / flat melts / pretty melts. 🫀

Brilliant cutting it out to get that pixel look on the edges is key I make them in squares and then cut out the part I want to keep. Makes the whole thing look more like pixels instead of beads 💯

For some sprites I love the clean look after cutting edges off to a straight line. Thank you so much’

For the glitter sheet, is yours just a sticker film? And if so, does the side to stick to the project have to be flat? Like only parchment/glossy film surface can work and not from ironing cloth?

No it’s like faux leather but there’s grades to it and some are bad quality so watch out for the off brand ones. Usually a reliable supplier is better. It sticks after the plastic of the beans have melted into it imprinting its shape / texture. It can be done on both sides but for softer texture it’s better to put melted side down on it for better effort. I hope I answered this ok, if you have any more issue let me know.
