Party hard with Perler bead patterns that are perfect for birthdays! These birthday Perler bead patterns are perfect for celebrating!
Perler beads are a really fun way for both kids and adults to show off their creative sides. If you’re just discovering Perler beads, let us explain what they are. Perler beads, also known as melty or fuse beads, are small plastic beads that come together to make a design. Once the design is complete, an iron helps to melt or fuse the beads into one solid piece. How fun is that?
If you’re looking for some birthday excitement, check out the incredible birthday-themed Perler bead patterns that we have in our Freebies Library!
