What are Perler beads?
Perler beads are small, plastic, cylindrical beads that are also called “fuse beads” or “melty beads”. This is because Perler beads are designed to be melted together! Place the Perler beads, one by one, onto a plastic pegboard and create a pattern of your choice (like one of these fun Christmas designs). Then cover the design with parchment paper and iron the beads together — the heat from the iron will fuse the beads together into one piece.
