If you’re just trying this out with no goal in mind, this will be okay, but eventually it’s going to get really annoying to look through every bead for a certain color. Also, if it doesn’t come with your pegboard or container, buy some ironing paper (it’s reusable, so you don’t need to buy a lot).Īt first I started small, and sifting through the container of unsorted beads wasn’t a big deal. They also sell smaller, interlocking pegboards for cheaper (the large pegboard doesn’t connect to other pegboards, so if I wanted to make something bigger, I’d have to buy a bunch of small ones to snap together), as well as packets of 1,000 beads of individual colors (pick up a packet of black beads if you want to make video game sprites). I got a large pegboard for $15, and a container of 11,000 beads of various colors for another $15. I’d assume any arts and crafts store would have them, but if they don’t, you can also go their website. Lucky you.įirst, go get some Perler beads. So naturally, after a few weeks of making stuff, I feel entitled to provide a tutorial to anyone willing to listen. And after wanting to try making pixel art for a year, I finally bought some Perler beads and a pegboard. Maybe it was because I was weird.Įven though I’m not really interested in modern video games, the old stuff still holds a special place in my heart. Maybe it was because sprites were essentially the same as flip books, and if you put them all together they made a moving picture. Maybe it was because I was a super organized kid, and seeing pixels so perfectly arranged was appealing to me. I’d even go so far as to say they fascinated me. I didn’t usually go for the projects that required outside assistance, like the use of irons.īut after seeing video game sprites from Nintendo, Super Nintendo, and Game Boy games made out of Perler beads, I’m pretty ashamed I never tried this sooner. Most of my art projects involved Crayola brand stuff. Anyway, here's what you'll need: Perler beads - lots and lots, especially in black Perler bead pegboards that link together (some of these designs are big) Perler bead ironing paper Iron I have provided images of all the finished designs below so that you can use them as patterns to recreate your own at home. You arrange a picture or pattern on a pegboard and iron them together to create art.
Perler beads are fusible beads from my childhood, apparently. My first question was, “what the hell is a Perler bead?” My second question was, “how can I do this?”
Some of our favorite materials are fabrics, polymer clay, cardboard, paper and perler beads.Last year, one of my favorite YouTubers started making video game sprites from Perler beads.
