The six collections let you browse Perler bead patterns by subject rather than sort through unrelated pictures. There are eight cat designs, five flower designs, six heart designs, three Minecraft designs, eleven Pokemon designs, and nine star designs, making 42 distinct patterns altogether to explore.
Start with a subject you want to make, then compare named Perler bead patterns within that collection. Cats include a calico cat and a cat paw. Flowers include a rose, sunflower, tulip, and poppy. Hearts include a heart lock, heart arrow, and a winged heart design.
Minecraft offers a sword, pickaxe, and pig, while Pokemon includes Pikachu, Eevee, Squirtle, Gengar, and a Poke Ball. Six of the Pokemon designs are Pikachu variants. Star choices include a shooting star and starfish, so these Perler bead patterns offer different subjects within each theme.
For a project that fits one board, compare the 29×29 Perler bead patterns by their actual bead totals. The Minecraft pickaxe uses 77 beads, while the sword uses 116. Both use one 29×29 board, but their bead colors and quantities differ, so check each separately.
Other one-board Perler bead patterns include the heart flower at 198 beads, the calico cat at 293, and the standard Pikachu at 322. These numbers describe the beads placed in each design. They do not mean you need to fill every peg on the board around it.
Fewer beads do not always mean fewer colors to sort. The sword uses eight colors, while the 406-bead heart uses just two. When choosing between these Perler bead patterns, consider both how many beads you need to place and how many bead colors you need to gather.
The 58×58 Perler bead patterns use four 29×29 boards arranged as a square, with two boards across and two down. Set out that arrangement before placing beads. A pattern can cross the joins between boards even when much of the available space remains empty.
A larger pattern space does not automatically require more beads than every one-board design. The 58×58 shooting star uses 508 beads, while the 29×29 rose uses 572. Compare the actual total and board requirement together instead of judging the supply needed from dimensions alone.
For a fuller four-board project, compare Eevee at 1,328 beads with the larger calico cat at 1,544. These Perler bead patterns need the same board arrangement but different supplies. Check rows carefully where they pass between boards so you keep the design aligned during placement.
All the Perler bead patterns in this collection use 5mm Perler beads. Gather the named colors for your chosen design before starting, and keep each color separate. The standard 29×29 Pikachu uses five colors and 322 beads, including 196 Yellow beads and 92 Black beads.
Its remaining supplies are 20 Brown beads, two White beads, and twelve Hot Coral beads. Compare that with the 29×29 Poke Ball, which uses 442 beads in three colors: 168 Black, 168 White, and 106 Hot Coral. The totals help you check your existing supplies.
For a two-color option, the 29×29 heart needs 66 Red beads and 340 Hot Coral beads. These examples show why Perler bead patterns with similar board requirements can need very different supplies. If you change colors or remove beads, use the updated totals when preparing.
Open any of these Perler bead patterns in the homepage Designer by selecting its preview image or the Open in Designer button. This opens that exact design rather than a blank starting point. You can work on the pattern without creating an account or signing in.
Use draw to add beads and erase to remove them, then check how the picture changes. Undo takes back a change, and redo restores it. You can also change bead colors and see updated totals, which helps you compare an edited design with your supplies.
When your changes are ready, download the pattern as PNG or PDF. Review the downloaded picture before placing beads, especially if you edited small details. Keeping your chosen Perler bead patterns beside the boards gives you a reference for checking rows as you work through them.

Once you have chosen your Perler bead patterns, use the published ironing guide to prepare for fusing. Before applying heat, compare your placed beads with the chart. Look for missing beads, misplaced colors, and shifted rows while you can still make corrections on the board.
The ironing guide explains covering the beads with ironing paper, using medium heat without steam, and moving the iron in circles without pressing down. An adult should do the fusing. The instructions also cover checking the beads, cooling the design, and fusing the reverse side.
To sketch your next idea, the blank printable page offers 29×29 and 58×58 grids as PDF downloads. Their capacities are 841 and 3,364 positions, not automatic supply totals. Compare your sketch with existing Perler bead patterns, and inspect print scaling before using the paper.
42 patterns
There are 42 distinct designs across six collections. You can choose from eight cats, five flowers, six hearts, three Minecraft designs, eleven Pokemon designs, and nine stars. The Pokemon total includes six Pikachu variants, so those variants are part of the 42 designs rather than an additional collection.
Use the selected pattern’s actual total, not the number of positions on its board. For example, the 29×29 Minecraft pickaxe needs 77 beads, while the 29×29 heart needs 406. A completely filled 29×29 board holds 841 beads, but empty positions in a design do not require beads.
Yes, open the selected design in Designer and change its bead colors before downloading. You can also draw, erase, undo, and redo changes while seeing updated totals. Download the edited pattern as PNG or PDF, then check that the colors you selected match the beads you plan to use.
A 29×29 pattern space uses one 29×29 board, while a 58×58 pattern space uses four. Arrange the four boards as a square before starting the larger design. Check the pattern dimensions rather than its bead total, because a design with fewer beads can still spread across four boards.
All designs in this collection use 5mm Perler beads. For example, the standard Pikachu uses five named colors, while the Poke Ball uses Black, White, and Hot Coral.
The published blank printable page offers 29×29 and 58×58 grids as PDF downloads. Use a blank grid to sketch your idea, and check print scaling before using the paper.
An adult should fuse the beads on a flat, heat-safe surface using ironing paper and medium heat without steam. Move the iron in circles without pressing; let the design cool before turning and fusing the reverse.
Read the ironing guide before fusing your chosen design, including paper placement, gentle heating, and cooling.
