Pro Tips for Using Perler Beads
If you’re new to the world of perler beads or even a seasoned enthusiast, it’s worth taking a moment to review some best practices for optimal results.
Utilizing tweezers can greatly improve precision when placing individual beads. Equally important is the ironing process—uniform heat application ensures consistent fusing of beads, creating a more polished end product.
And using a sheet of parchment paper, not wax paper, keeps the beads from melting onto your iron.
If you’re crafting with young children, be cautious of the iron’s temperature to ensure safety.
Finally, allow your completed design to cool on a flat surface before moving it to prevent any warping.
Printing Tips
- Use a ‘high-quality’ print setting for the clearest pattern.
- Make sure to print at 100% scale so your beads align perfectly with the pattern.
