Cute Hama/Perler Bead Ideas
Cute animals, characters, and landscapes — there are so many things you can design with melty beads! They are the perfect decorations for empty walls or a fridge door.
I use Hama Beads for my designs because they are very easy to find in my country. Other popular melty bead brands that you might want to look into are Perler, Nabbi, and Artkal.
The designs found on this blog post are made using square and hexagonal pegboards. At the moment I only have one hexagonal board, so most designs are made on a square board.
You can find the download link for these melty bead designs at the end of this blog post!
Materials
Melty beads
Pegboards (large square and large hexagon)

Colorful mermaids
Board: square
Bright colors and mermaids go well together, so I used a lot of neon beads here: pink, yellow, blue and orange.

I recently drew this sunset landscape digitally and decided to try and recreate it with Hama beads.

Board: hexagon
This was the first design I made. Luckily, ironing and removing the finished design was easy for the most part, and surprisingly, I didn’t manage to melt the pegboards!
Blue dress

I really loved designing these different characters and their clothing.
