Pokemon Perler Bead Heart

02/12/2017

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Have you tried making Perler bead art before?  It’s a fun craft using small plastic beads to make pixelated images.  The design options are endless.  This past month the whole family got hooked, and being a big valentine enthusiast I started creating a handful of pop culture icons re-inspired as hearts.  To start out the collection, a Perler bead heart to match the Pokémon valentine card box I crafted up.

Perler Bead Heart Pattern - Directions for making a pixelated heart shaped pokéball.
Using a heart pegboard they’re the perfect size for keychains or backpack clips.  They’re even small enough to fit right on a small 4″ x 6″ card to hand out.  All you need is Perler beads (3 colors), a heart peg board, and iron to set.  This Perler bead set is a great one to start out with.  It has all the basic colors, some neutrals, as well as some fun neon colors.

Perler Bead Heart Pattern - Directions for making a pixelated heart shaped pokéball.
Supplies:

  • heart pegboard
  • 28 white beads
  • 66 red beads
  • 28 black beads
  • iron
  • parchment paper

Directions:

  1. Starting from the bottom, lay the white beads in an inverted triangle filling up the bottom of the heart pegboard.
  2. In the middle of the last white line place one black bead.  Just above that bead place one white bead.  Then another black bead just above the white bead.
  3. Fill out the remainder of the 3 lines just above the white with black beads.
  4. Fill in the remainder of the heart with red beads.
  5. Set an iron to medium. Place a piece of parchment paper over the top of the beads.  Lightly press, moving the iron in circles.  Continue heating for 15-20 seconds until the beads are melted together.
  6. Take the heart of the peg board.  Flip over and replace the parchment paper on top of the heart.  Repeat melting the opposite side with light pressure in circular movements.
  7. Place a heavy flat object on top of the parchment covered heart until cool.  This will prevent the heart from curling as it cools.
