My Princess and I have been introduced to a new craft – Perler Beads; and we LOVE it! This last week, we’ve devoted quite a bit of time (it was her Spring Break) to making some fun Perler Bead Flowers and so much more. Like a mad woman, I’ve been searching the internet and Pinterest for Perler Bead templates and now we have grand designs to make handmade Perler Bead gifts.
Isn’t crafting with with girls so fun?
Perler Bead Tips and Tricks
- Tweezers and toothpicks help to pick up these tiny beads and place them on the pegboard.
- Iron on medium heat 10-20 seconds until beads are fused together. The beads will still have a center when ironed correctly.
- When ironing make sure you pay attention to the edges of the design. I messed up and didn’t iron the edge well on a couple flowers.
- You can use graph paper and draw your own bead designs.
Do you have any Perler Bead tips to share?
We made flowers, butterflies, and even Disney Princess’ this week with our Perler Beads. We cannot wait to make more designs.

I want to do these with my little girl
We had a great time. We can’t wait to make more!
How fun! I need to add this to the list of crafts that I want to do once school year ends. We have about one month yet and I’m already planning crafts and activities! 🙂
We are having a great time. We found some free Disney Princess ones we are making, a Starbucks logo for a gift, and even TMNT ones. We are having such fun!
Have to be honest here. When I was a kid I would have been ADDICTED to these. Even as an adult I want to give them a try. Hoping my sons will let me. 😉
Mary, I hadn’t ever done them before this and I LOVED it. I know have a lot of gift ideas in mind for the future and magnets to make!
my son likes these kinds of crafts. your daughter looks like she had fun 🙂
I’ve never played with Perler beads but I have received some Perler bead crafts as gifts from my girls at church over the years. I’ve also ponned and stumbled this post.
Thank you Cindy for your support. I sure appreciate it!
I was actually looking for these the other day. This is something that I want to do with my kiddos over the summer.
I used to love making these as a kid. I bet my niece would enjoy these too.
I used these when I was younger and they are awesome!
