Perler bead potted plants

Here are some potted Perler bead plants that I made, they all needed at least 2 large yellow panels to fit all the beads on. I found it helpful to tape a Popsicle stick to the back so it wont slide over but use good tape meaning not scotch tape. Then just get some dirt and put it in a pot, they look really cool anywhere in the house. The first is a fire plant from Mario, The second is a pea shooter from Plants vs. Zombies, the third is a piranha plant from Mario and the last on is a plant from Mario that I am not certain about but if you know than please leave a comment and I will change the name.

Perler bead White mage

I made this Perler bead white mage a few months ago and just found it, I had a lot of white beads so I was able to make this. This is a good medium pass time if you just want something good to do with Perler beads.

Perler Bead tips 2

What I find really helpful is sorting your beads in to trays of boxes. This prevents shifting around your tub for a single. You also don't put the wrong bead on the plate and you iron it with the wrong color on it. It also makes easy and fast access to every color of bead when you are working. It may take a while but you don't have to sort the whole bin at once, only so often you never run out in your trays or boxes. Sorting the beads may be unpleasant but it will pay of in the end with your Perler bead creations being all the right colors. Also on a big project, start at the top right cornier with the farthest pixel so you don't run out of room.

Perler bead giant Sonic the Hedgehog

This took me about 2 and a half days because when I was picking it up to iron half broke apart. This is also one based of the internet. This is a project for someone who has a lot of patience and 2 large pegboards.

Perler beads+tips on them

Yes, I do like Perler beads. .I have gotten into making new Perler bead objects ( not just pokemon perler bead things) like many things from Zelda, Sonic, Mario...  So if you have been making perler bead stuff as well talk about it. Some useful things that I used were the internet for inspiration such as already pixilated pictures and tweezers in case you make a mistake.
