What are Perler beads?
Perler beads are cylindrical plastic beads that are used to make crafts. You may also see Perler beads called “melty beads” or “fuse beads”, because they’re meant to be melted together! Make a cool design (like these back to school supplies!) with the beads on a plastic pegboard. Then place parchment paper on top of the design and iron the beads together. The heat from the iron will fuse the beads together into one piece, just like magic!
