Quick guide
Perler beads, without the wall of text.
Keep the educational content, but make it serve the gallery. The page gives beginners just enough context to choose a project and start.
5mm beads
Best for first projects, classroom crafts, gifts, and designs that need forgiving placement.
2.6mm mini beads
Best for detailed portraits, compact display pieces, and pixel art that needs finer resolution.
Fewer colors
Easier to buy, sort, place, and iron. This is usually better for a beginner-friendly pattern.
More colors
Better gradients and smoother photo conversion, but more sorting and a longer build session.
Frequently asked questions
What are Perler beads?+
Perler beads are small fuse beads arranged on a pegboard to make pixel art. After ironing, the beads fuse into a finished piece.
Can I turn any image into a Perler bead pattern?+
Yes. Upload a photo or illustration, choose a grid size and palette, then export the converted bead chart.
Which size is best for beginners?+
Standard 5mm beads are easier to handle and iron. Mini 2.6mm beads are better for detailed portraits and advanced work.
Do I need a specific bead brand?+
No, but it is best to keep one brand inside a single project because color ranges and melting behavior can differ.
