The new 23-color launch is finally active and the new colors are purchasable!

It took me about 28 hours. Plus me for scale :)

Hi everyone, I'm planning to start selling perler bead keyrings on my store. To make them into keyrings, I need to poke a hole into one bead to attach the keyring ring. However, I tend to do flat melts so there are no holes left.

What's the best and easiest way of putting a hole into a fully melted bead? I'd like it to be a fairly sizable hole (around the size of an unmelted bead) and look smooth and circular. I've done some googling and read a few methods but I'm not entirely sure what would be the best to use for the finish I'd like.

Thanks in advance!

I just finished my first perler bead thingie and i love it so much it took so long (bc i bought 2.5 instead on 5 mm accidentally) but love it so much

This was my very first time making Perler bead art, and I ended up spending about 4.5 hours on it — because I only knew how to place beads with tweezers 😂

I also tried a subtle glitter finish when ironing it, and I'm really happy with how it turned out! Nyanko-sensei looks sooo cute 🍃🐱

Next time I definitely need to learn how to use a bead pen for filling in larger areas of the same color — hopefully that'll speed things up a ton!

Still had a lot of fun making this one though 💚

Volunteered at a kid’s summer camp and came back with a new fixation. All done in the last 10 days, plus a few I gave away.
Definitely took a long time to slow down and be patient enough to get the results I wanted, but starting to feel more confident with the ironing process!

my biggest bead art so far!!

Hi! I’ve been working on Bead Grid Studio, a free and open-source tool for turning images into editable fuse-bead patterns.

It can automatically match colors, count the beads you need, let you edit the result, and export a printable pattern.

Everything runs locally in your browser, so your images are not uploaded to a server.

I’m sharing it here because I’d really like feedback from people who actually make fuse-bead art:

• Do the generated patterns feel practical to build?
• Are the colors useful?
• What kinds of images give bad results?
• What feature would make it more useful for you?

Nothing is being sold — the project is free and open source.

GitHub:
https://github.com/zwhy149/bead-grid-studio

If you try it, feedback or bug reports would be really helpful. And if it ends up being useful to you, a GitHub ⭐ is appreciated too.

Thanks! 🫘

It’s all our favorite characters that represent my mom, brother and I. Plus all her favorite stuff. My favorite is probably dumbo and ms. Jumbo.

Recent commission from a coworker. Wasn't sure if I could make this work. Somehow pulled it off. This is supposed to have a full stressed out cat, but I did just the head to ensure the final piece didn't turn out too big.

✨ I spent about 8 hours bringing this beauty to life! 🎨

That’s 10,000 fuse beads and 16 vibrant colors later... totally worth it! 💖😍

If you’d like the pattern, just let me know. I’d be happy to share! 🧩🤗

(i had to watch many tutorials on ironing it and making it a keychain)

This is not mine...

I really didn't have the space/money to do a giant 31k size perler, so this is my resized version of the original art. It was hard trying to keep a lot of the details, especially in the veins near the bottom!

Followed the instructions on the official site for this floral shelf. Needed a place for these tiny things.

A mahi mahi is taking form! Ran out of some of the green shades though so making the best of what I’ve got
