Basically you create a design on a plastic plate using plastic beads and then melt it once it’s done with an iron used over a piece of parchment paper. There’s a little bit of something for everyone!
Perler Beads - I recommend some starter sets with neutral colors Perler Bead Pegboards - I also recommend a set or pre-shaped boards Ironing Paper - We use the same pieces again and again! Iron - A must-have. (links in the full post)
Tips
Heavy book?
Place a heavy book over the finished design to keep it flat.
Ironing
Iron in a circular motion, not in one place for too long.
