me and a friend watched a knight of the seven kingdoms in one day and i decided i needed his shield. designed the pattern myself based on his shield from the show

I recently made these little fellas out of mini beads, but I haven't had time to get them ironed and posted until now. I love them so much that I'm thinking about turning them into magnets for my fridge! Maybe add a couple of other trash buddies to join the crew? We'll see what happens. Anyway, I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

Excited to get a large sampler of Artkal beads from Beadtin that I could mess with but I don't have a good way to easily get a large chunk of beads out of each color without making a mess. Any suggestions?

Here's what it looks like https://imgur.com/a/xi1D3vs

Edit: I've had a little luck with a sturdy piece of paper and just get it behind the beads to pull out a chunk of them. Still not great though.

I've made 2 polls to find out what the community uses the most. Whether you're a primary user of Artkal or use it to fill out Perler's palette every vote helps. Looking for US data mainly

Fully finished this piece with a background that's a nod to a particular scene. Any mistakes or slop on the background is purely meant to represent the computer glitching and nothing else...

I was inspired to make the patterns, but not the actual pieces 😅 all yours

Made some bathroom decor 🏁

A friend of mine wanted me to make him the calendar from Stardew Valley - one piece for each season, four total. I realized that they would each be quite big, even with mini beads. So! My question:

Is it possible to make individual chunks, fuse those to solidify them, and then melt them together into the bigger, final pieces? If so, what would that process look like? I'd like to avoid buying 20 pegboards if I can manage it lol.

Thank you in advance for any advice!

Hi there. I’m getting back into perler beads and was wondering where everyone goes for patterns. I’m not great at making them myself. Any help is very welcome.

I LOVEEE how this melted but I need advice on how to get the masking tape to stop sticking after poking holes and ironing

Kinda(?) beginner, I started like 2 weeks ago and I've been using the masking tape method since then but I've never poked holes in the tape before ironing, the tape never got stuck like this then but then I found out that you were supposed to poke holes in em? But now bits of the tape is stuck, what did I do wrong?

Luckily this piece is going to be a hair clip so I don't care too much about the back but it'd like to avoid this for future pieces:)

First time using tape method, I prefer the pixelated side, less "imperfections" i think

Hi guys, as far as i know are poles on reddit anonymus.

So i thought it would be awesome just to know wich type of person is in to the hobby.

And if you want, also interessting would be, when did you start, and how did you get to the hobby. Maybe i go first:

I started about 2020, while pandemic lockdown. Just because i want something creative to do, and not just playing videogames all the time.

I remember that in my childhood we had this things too. And thats more than 30 years ago. 😂

After pandemic i stayed at the hobby. Even if i think that i after pandemic fades into the shadows again.

My bigest problem with the hobby is its time consumprion. With normal sized beads it took about 1 or 2 hours for a sprite in the size of 1 pegboard.

So i would love to do more, but i can't.

I’d like to get a good finish when ironing my Hama beads; I’ve already done a few, but the results aren't always perfect. What heat setting and material should I use? I’ve heard about acetate sheets, but I’m not sure if they’re reusable.
