Once we completed the Beauty and The Beast Disney Hama Bead Design we went to look for an Iron to melt the beads together, however Daddy seems to have hidden it well away so we are waiting for him to come home to do the final part.

Sylvia did a fantastic job creating her Belle. It really did turn out awesome and I was so impressed. Sylvia has lots of Hama Beads and plenty of yellow so we decided to work on creating the perfect Belle. We got a huge tub of perler beads from Ikea last year and they have lasted a long time.

We had fun making this large Bob Ross design (original design source AC Moore) Super Mario Bros designs. VW Bus design. Place the transparent pegboard on top of the design guide, place the beads onto the pegboards and follow the design guide to create three designs of favourite characters: Ariel, Cinderella and Princess Jasmine. When you’re done, place an ironing sheet over your design, iron over the top and then remove the sheet. The beads will fuse together to give you an instant masterpiece!

If you’re looking for a specific pattern I haven’t listed, search it on Kandi Patterns and see if someone has created one! Princess Perler Bead Patterns

One last note – I think fuse beads are BEST for ages 7-12. Younger kids will likely get frustrated because it takes a fair amount of hand eye coordination to complete a design. 100+ Melty Bead Patterns I went online to search for some Hama Bead Disney designs and found a template online . Sylvia followed the instructions perfectly. It did take some time, a lot longer than we thought but we had a lot of fun!I recommend this pegboard set because it has the boards we use the most. Most all of the designs we created can be done on a large square square board, a circle or hexagon pegboard. For large designs you’ll need more than one large square pegboard. This set has multiple large square boards. Using Hama Beads can be real fun. It’s something we enjoy doing and is a fun learning activity which both girls and boys alike can enjoy. Since we’ve had lots of extra time at home lately, we’ve been looking for the best Perler bead patterns we can find, and I stumbled across a FANTASTIC resource: Kandi Patterns. Kandi Patterns has THOUSANDS of Perler bead patterns available that kids can use for free to make their favorite characters. We’re talking Star Wars characters, princesses, animals of every variety, video game characters, super heroes, and even Kawaii characters (which my daughter loves!). We spent hours over the past week combing through all the patterns to find our favorites, and I’ve compiled them below. I helped Sylvia separate the different colour beads. This involved a lot of sorting and counting skills. I didn’t realise before we began just how educational Hama Beads can be. However they are great for extending mathematical skills.

Hama Beads are also known as Perler beads or Nabbi beads. They are plastic fusible beads. To use these beads, you will need plastic pegboards to form the patterns. The colourful beads are arranged on these plastic pegboards to form patterns such as the Belle from Beauty and the Beast.

One of my kids’ favorite indoor activities is designing with Perler Beads (aka melty beads or fuse beads). Whenever we need a quiet activity that I know will keep them busy for a good chunk of time, we pull out the Perlers and let them go to town! My 3rd and 6th graders will sometimes spend more than an hour dreaming up their own designs or copying patterns they’ve found online. Hama beads can be educational in so many ways from helping kids with fine motor skills to learning about colour.
