Let's face it, Perler beads are a blast, and they're much tidier than paint. Plus, they're perfect for Valentine's Day! Age appropriate for the youngin's, these patterns will keep the kids entertained.
Now, if you're ready to dive into the world of Perler beads, better known as hama beads, fuse beads, or melty beads, this collection of patterns is just for you!
Valentine Perler Beads Extravaganza
Take note of the following hints to make things easier:
- A few of these patterns are larger than a 29 x 29 pegboard, so you'll either need an extra-large pegboard (49 x 69 squares) or to combine multiple square pegboards to form a larger "canvas."
- Some patterns require either heart pegboards or hexagon pegboards - these will be handy additions to your collection.
- You might notice some pattern backgrounds aren't white - that's just to help with contrast so you can see where the white beads go. Feel free to ignore that part!
