Fuse Beads FAQ
What are fuse beads?
Fuse beads (also known as Perler beads, Hama beads, or melty beads) are small plastic beads that you arrange on a pegboard and then fuse together with an iron to create pixel art, keychains, magnets, and decorative pieces.
How do I iron fuse beads?
Place ironing paper over the beads, set your iron to medium heat with no steam, and iron in slow circular motions for 30-60 seconds. Flip the design and iron the other side for durability. Let cool under a heavy book.
What's the difference between Perler, Hama, and Artkal fuse beads?
All three make standard 5mm fuse beads that work on the same pegboards. Perler (US) has 221 colors, Hama (Europe) is known for quality with ~60 colors, and Artkal (Asia) offers the widest range at 400+ colors. You can mix brands in a single project.
Are fuse beads safe for kids?
Standard 5mm fuse beads are recommended for ages 5+ with adult supervision for ironing. Hama Midi beads (10mm) are designed for ages 3+. Quality brands like Perler, Hama, and Artkal use non-toxic, BPA-free LDPE plastic.
How many fuse bead colors do I need to start?
A starter kit with 20-30 colors is perfect for beginners. As you take on more complex patterns, you can expand your collection. Our pattern generator shows exactly which colors you'll need for each design.
