What are Perler beads?
Perler beads are small, cylindrical beads made from a non-toxic plastic. They’re also called “fuse beads” or “melty beads” because Perler beads are designed to be melted together! Perler beads are placed on a plastic pegboard, where you can create a pattern of your choice (like one of these fun football themed designs!). Then cover the design with parchment paper and iron the beads together — the heat from the iron fuses the beads together into one piece!
