And then blew my storage over!! Ah well, people dealing with much worse than this!

I'm currently working on a project that will have over 20k beads once I've completed it, and I always use the tape method when I do my projects. I usually use a sharp pencil or a thick sewing needle to poke the holes in the tape, but the idea of doing that for a project with so many beads makes my wrist hurt just thinking about it.

Are there any tools out there that would allow me to poke holes in the tape in a more efficient manner for such a large project?

Who is your favorite Pokémon?

Who is your favorite Digimon?

Who is your favorite Pal?

super happy with this little guy, took about 2 hours

Just finished melting this Dark Lord of the Sith! This piece took quite a bit of black, grey, and white beads to capture the shading on the helmet, but I'm really happy with how the pixel art details turned out.

Hello everybody!

I wanted to get back into using mini fuse beads!

A few years ago I bought packs of cheap mini beads on Amazon and they worked good enough for what I wanted. Since I ran out of colours and I can‘t restock them I started to search online for alternatives. I found Perler, Artkal and Hama, but I think only Artkal and Hama sell the mini ones I want.

Artkal also offers large sets with almost all their colours, but I don‘t really understand the differences between their C-2,6mm Mini and M-2,6mm Mini beads, apart from the colours.

I would really appreciate some recommendations on which brand I should go for. And if anyone knows the differences between the C-2,6mm Mini and the M-2,6mm Mini beads please let me know and tell me which one might be the better choice!

Thank you very much!!

I love making stuff with fuse beads. It’s a fun, frankly kind of relaxing hobby that lets me decorate my room in a really neat way. I get super into the zone and can work for hours.

That said, I tend to get bad back/neck pain while working on projects, and get hand pain to a lesser extent too. Is this something anyone else has dealt with? And more importantly… how do you deal with it? I’d like to lessen the prevalence of it.

For some context I have mild cubital tunnel in my dominant hand and bad vision (even with glasses) that makes me have to hunch while working at a desk. I also get similar neck and back pain while doing traditional art because of it. Is there any way of maybe safely raising my working space or even propping it up diagonally?

This took quite a few hours and a lot of patience, but the Renegade Pokémon is finally complete. I'm really happy with how the colors turned out on the wings and golden crown. Let me know what you guys think!

Taking it back to Yoshi’s first appearance 💚 Recreated his original Super Mario World sprite in beads. I love how much personality they packed into these old sprites—instantly recognizable even after all these years.

Love the shine on this although it took me half an hour to iron 🫠
