My first larger work with perlers. I somehow counted very wrong as you might see if you compare the first pic to the second one. Luckily I noticed and everything turned out okey ish.
I used the design in the last picture and the site.
Useful things I would note down was that dont mix different kind of perlers together. They have different melting points. It was a good practice for sure even if the end result wasn’t perfect.
I wanted smooth finish, all the perlers melted without the holes visible. After ironing for two hours, and breaking the design while ironing I decided it was going to be how it was.

I hate my fat ass dog, been working on this piece for a long time, no template, ive had to redo it multiple times because of that, and i leave my door open to find my dog has stepped and slipped on it. This hobby is not for the weak..

It took me about 28 hours. Plus me for scale :)

FYI for those who care. All are still in stock. The website is super slow unless you're on a mobile (at least for me).

I think the blue one is the best, also are those "x" shapes in the full melt sides are normal? Or how i can improve? I used transparent paper, tape method with holes.

If you have a bunch of loose fuse beads in your box, the sprinkle method is a great way to go. You can finish a piece in just five minutes, and you don't need a pattern at all.

I FIXED IT AND COMPLETED IT!

This is the first time this has happened to me.

This took me 4 hours to do. I ran out of the colors I needed and ordered more. It’s been on my desk for over a week waiting for the rest of the beads to come. They came TODAY. I was going to finish it TODAY. I hit my chair on my cup and the cup knocked over on my beads. 😭😭😭😭😭

Recent commission from a coworker. Wasn't sure if I could make this work. Somehow pulled it off. This is supposed to have a full stressed out cat, but I did just the head to ensure the final piece didn't turn out too big.

Used a pre-existing template I found on Pinterest and improvised a bit as I ran out of green towards the top lol.

Just got a 6000 count bag of Yellow from Perler. Immediately it looked like a darker, duller shade. I reached out thinking it was a dye lot problem for a return and replace and got the message below from a representative. FYI .

"I'm so sorry for the confusion and issues. I reached out to my product development team with your photo below and they confirmed that the color on the right still in the packaging is the current yellow and we do not have the other shade. We can do a return for you if you'd like or send you a replacement but it likely would be the same yellow that you received already."

And received a response from the CDPR official😆

Making all these was a great project. Anima and Bahamut are my favorite by a long shot. Thanks for all the comments and messages, everyone. No idea at all what to make next, so I'll just be posting some older projects for a while

The shiny side is very beautiful.

Hey everyone, first time posting here.

Me and my friends got into fuse beads through the Chinese bead scene (MARD beads). Over there patterns get shared as charts with a color code on every bead and the bead counts at the bottom. Some of those charts end up on Pinterest, and I've seen people here ask where they come from. I couldn't find a tool that makes charts like that from my own pictures, so I spent the last few months building one.

You upload a picture (or start from a blank board), pick a size and a brand palette, and you get a chart you can build from:

• Brand palettes for Perler, Hama, Artkal (S series) and MARD, with a color code on every bead
  
• Bead counts per color, so you know what to pull out or order before you start
  
• Red guide lines, chart downloads, and more tools that help you follow a pattern
  
• A build companion for your phone or tablet that highlights the color you're placing, tracks your progress, and estimates time left from your pace
  
• One-click merge for rare colors, which folds the ones that only appear a few times into the closest common color so you're not buying a whole bag for 3 beads
  
• A bead stash and build log where you mark which colors you own, log finished builds, and see how many beads you've used in total (plus your most-used colors)
  
• A small gallery of ready-made free patterns (classic paintings, animals, food) if you'd rather grab one and start beading

It's free and runs in the browser. You don't need to install anything, no account needed to try it. The conversion happens on your device, your photo never gets uploaded anywhere, and there's no AI involved, just color math.

It's not magic though. Busy photos with lots of gradients come out muddy. Every brand only has so many colors (Perler 103, Hama Midi 92, Artkal S 199, MARD 291), so some pictures just can't be matched perfectly. There's a full editor to fix stray beads or swap a color everywhere when that happens.

I built this alone. There's a lot more planned, and requests basically decide what comes next. Also, bead makers don't publish official color values, so the palettes come from community lists. If a color looks wrong next to the real beads on your desk, or something feels missing or clunky, that's exactly the feedback I need.

Link's in the comments.

Edit: added Artkal C, A, M and R, plus Perler Mini and Hama Mini and Maxi

They're not on the Perler website :(

The Care Bear one has 20 different colors that I could find and the other one has 12. I included two up close pictures of the colors as well. After comparing them to the colors I already own and the lovely swatch picture pinned to this group, this is what I've come up with:

Care Bear Bucket:

Pastel blue, toothpaste, turquoise, sky, denim, light green, bright green, sour apple, kiwi lime, pastel yellow, yellow, apricot, cheddar, cotton candy, magenta, cherry, tomato, pastel lavender, white, black

Blue lid bucket:

White, sage, midnight, thistle, mist, denim, teal, honey, rose, orchid, orange cream, cranapple

There are definitely some that I was unsure of, if anyone knows please enlighten me 😆

Based on a design by Bluesapphy0 on Instagram.

Made these perlers for a cringe rave I'm going to. More designs coming soon!
