Not sure what to make next? Browse the gallery for Perler bead ideas, then open a design to see the grid, colors, and bead count. These community-made fuse bead patterns give you a starting point you can follow as it is or adapt to your own style. Use the topic tags to explore related designs and save favorites when something catches your eye.
Choose a design that works for you
Compare Perler bead designs by their grid dimensions, bead count, and number of colors. A smaller pattern with a few clearly separated colors can be a manageable first project. Check that the design fits your pegboard and compare the listed palette with the beads you have. If you use another fuse bead brand, check its bead sizes and color references before you begin.
Download a pattern and plan your materials
Open a pattern to view its color information and download a grid to follow while placing your beads. The listed bead count helps you plan materials; it is not an estimate of how long the project will take. Screen colors can differ from physical beads, so compare the color references with your own supplies. Follow your bead manufacturer’s instructions for assembly and fusing.
