How to iron hama beads - fuse melt perler beads together make perler hama beads

Pixel / Hama / Perler bead projects do not need to be ironed on both sides. I find that if you only iron one side (but do it well), then you get a nice front side that looks really cool – much better than melted plastic blobs on both sides of your pixel art project.

To iron your Harma or Perler bead project, you will need:

Hama bead project ready on the peg board.
Hama ironing paper (or greaseproof baking paper).
Ironing board (or suitable ironing surface)
Iron (do not use the steam function, start on the setting in the middle then increase if required).

Is it bad that I bought these for my kid and I'm a bit obsessed with them?

Thank you so much for this. I could swear I did everything right before and it didn’t stick. My first project finished with a success after 4 tries.

I'm surprised they don't have wooden boards so the boards can't melt

[skyrade]

Found this helpful, but the baking paper i ordered is brown, not so easy to see through, and i think iron was too hot, still came out ok, pleased with my first attempt.

Do I need to put water in the iron?
Can I use baking tray?

I've always heard ironing over the pegboard will warp the pegboard itself.

[EternalNyappy]

I feel like all stuff I've see is melted both sides. I guess baking paper to protect the board after flipping and otherwise the same process., I think it will hold together better. But I guess it is a matter of taste if you like the melted side, then it is double sided ofc.

did the storm trooper coaster melt when your friend put a hot coffee on it?

[urvishah]

I have noticed that once done, in long run Hama beads keep falling apart and the design breaks. Is there anything else that can be done like a coating to keep the beads intact.

[alisonkeatings]

Is there a right and wrong side to this as i prefer the side that doesnt show the holes?

[jimddoyle]

after I iron it it is half wobbly and half a little bit hard and it would fall apart and break.
