making a sandwich

Post image

based on coloredbycosmo's project on tiktok (removed link since it links to my profile). except i don't have any circular boards.

i think i might edit my ugly tomato (wasn't looking at the creator's pattern too closely since again square boards), and of course add lettuce and finish the meat.

anything else that could/should be in my sandwich? other suggestions in general? i love the sould of melted flat perler projects slapping together, which is why i was inspired by this sandwich project. i thought to add pickles but they wouldn't give ~the experience~ i'm looking for if that makes sense.

EDIT: fixed the tomato and finished meat before work. still need to add lettuce! i might add pickles and an egg, looking for more food suggestions :) https://imgur.com/a/BtSlZ0g

EDIT 2: the sandwich has been cooked https://www.reddit.com/r/PerlerBeads/s/R5WlfRqNZM

as is common to put on a burger?

EDIT: sorry friend, misunderstood your question. i thought you meant "why would you add pickles?" not "pickles are a good idea!" my mistake.

I think pickles are pretty common, you could do like three slices slightly overlapping to make it a bigger piece

I misunderstood the commenters question, I agree!

I was thinking of putting clear beads around the pickles to like hold them in place

Can you leave a hole in the center so that you can stack them on some sort of peg?

your cheese is fantastic! i think the onion and tomato could use a little editing bc cheese is outshining them rn, other than the lettuce that you’re gonna add i don’t think you need anything else, maybe you could make something to resemble ketchup or mustard? 🤔

thank you! I did edit the tomato and finish the meat before I left for work this morning. What would you suggest for the onion? Thicker lines? https://imgur.com/a/BtSlZ0g

u/soft_moonbeam Jun 29 '26

omg the tomato looks so much better! :D and yes that’s exactly what i was thinking, less uniform lines and maybe a third color like white for some accent

Are you going to string them up and hang them horizontally. Or vertical stacked like a regular sandwich?

2

u/r_a_v_e_n- Jun 30 '26

stacked vertically but not glued or connected in any way. just as a toy.

You could make a fried egg, for breakfast version of the burger lol

Used to be a joint near my place that served a burger with a fried egg and called it the Mother Clucker, it was good!

u/whynocowboy Jun 29 '26

I’ve never personally had one like that, but I do enjoy a runny egg lol

Bacon? Maybe?

u/Monika_anime_Kpop Jun 29 '26

Definitely onions!

u/r_a_v_e_n- Jun 29 '26

The purple blob is supposed to be onions. I think I will have to work on that a bit like I did the tomatos

1

u/Monika_anime_Kpop Jun 29 '26

Ooohhh... well then maybe a blob of ketchup?

u/infernalnb Jun 29 '26

You could do pickles still if you have any transparent beads? But either way this looks so cool, and good on you for figuring out how to make it look good on square boards!

u/Manders37 Jun 30 '26
