- Join me on my Pokémon Perler Bead journey! I plan on making all the Pokémon including from Pokémon Scarlet and Violet!!
In this tutorial, we'll be showing you the tape method for creating pixel art using perler beads. This technique is perfect for those who want to create pixel art designs without using a traditional pegboard. We'll start by demonstrating how to properly lay out your beads on tape, and then we'll guide you step-by-step through the process of ironing and fusing your beads together to create a finished piece. We'll also cover tips and tricks for working with different bead sizes and colors to achieve the perfect pixelated look. Whether you're a seasoned perler or just starting out, this tutorial is perfect for anyone looking to add a new dimension to their pixel art creations. So grab your beads and some tape, and let's get started on mastering the tape method!

Thanks so much.! I love the physical pixel art but sometimes I don’t like the look of the perler beads
So this flat melt is amazing!!
You're welcome!
You got me into this hobby. I’m normally into drawing and painting, but making these is so zen. Completely relaxes you and puts you in a flow. I’m still working on my first one (diddy kong DKC2 sprite). I still gotta buy an iron to melt it. I was wondering if it’s possible to melt those little pinhole sections that didn’t melt completely flat cause I’m in the camp that doesn’t like the look of the beads. I like the look of the flat melt where it looks exactly like the in game sprite.
Fr, I even started selling!
thank you, plus that looks so nice😢
You're welcome!
This is the voice of experience. I'll have to try this with my next large project since I've had issues with curling and shrinking before
This is genius! Why didn't I think of this! Ty seriously
This helps heaps! But around how long should you use the iron for?? Mostly on smaller pieces like the teddiursa etc
It all depends on how well you want It melted. I personally don’t stop ironing until all the holes are closed.
Good job plus you should try and sell that for like 35$
This is the one 🔥
Awesome!
Thanks!
What temperature do you have your easypress set to? 🙏
The iron says 300f (149C) which is normally polyester/silk temp
I did your method mine came out still with holes in it and melted too much disfiguring my project how long do you use your press on it for?
What tool do you use when your stocking the beads onto the tape? I can never tell where the holes I need to poke are
Where do you buy your bead assortments? Most sorted collections I can find are just for mini beads
What do you use to melt the beads? It’s like an iron from cricut?
It’s called a cricut machine, it’s like an iron, because the bottom heats up, but it’s completely flat with no holes or divets that may be cool spots, so even heating. They also have more surface area so larger perlers can be done quicker
@@gracecrosby730Thanks ^^
Of course!
you probably won't see this but what if you used a perler frame to poke holes more quickly?
It all depends on your tape. For masking tape I’d Recommend using a plate but when you remove the tape, the perler is going to have a lot of sticky residue and it’s hard to get that off. I use painters tape, which leaves no residue but it’s too thick to use a board to make the holes. That’s the trade-off.
ironing the beads evenly has proven the most challenging for me, then again atm i am using mini beads as i didn't read when i bought my 1st kit the big letters mini that are on the box in the picture on Amazon XD big face palm am i right?.
I am ordering some regular sized beads now especially for larger designs.
The Gen 1 Japanese Black and White Dragonite i did used probably 2500 beads but it didn't go so well when i was ironing the large design.
i definitely should of used tape but i was too afraid i would mess it up if i did and then what happened? i messed it up while trying to iron the large design with my small iron because there wasn't anything sticking it down XD.
now i have to sort all the beads that weren't stuck together back into my box which will take ages since there is probably still 2000 beads left over from the fail (i only got one of his wings and his tail ironed out unfortunately).
Hey there, i've been watching your shorts recently and i really like it.
What's the point of poking hole in the beads, i've done several pixelarts myself and never saw someone do this :o
Yeah i just posted a video today: czcams.com/video/KFHK2iGMR5g/video.html
@@beadamonpixels ho wow, talking about good timing ahah
Well, I always prefer the "unfused" side but this is actually quite a tip for people for like the melted side ! 👌
Great content !
Also one question if we don’t have baking/ parchment paper can we use foil?
Im not sure tbh. I dont think you can. The foil would stop the transfer of heat to the beads
How is the cricut press i was thinking of pickin gone up but idk if 250 is worth it?
When do you take the tape off? After you finish ironing? And do you have to iron the side without the tape too???
I take the tape off once im down melting and the beadsprite has cooled. Making them the way i do makes it so you cant melt both sides.
How is the tape taken off? I tried to the other day and it was a mess to say the least
Wait- do you melt both sides or one?
Just one side
how do you get the black beads to melt? all the lighter ones do but the black ones are still circular
My teacher in elementary school who doesn’t need tape:
Where do you buy a set for making these? Could you please link me?
Does it work with scotch tape?
Where do you get your materials
How long you heat it for?
Until i think im done
What kind of iron is that?
It’s a Cricut easy press
@@beadamonpixels can you do a video on how it’s better than a iron?
Do you only melt one side, or both? I’ve been doing both, but I’m not sure if it’ll look better with only one side melted
The way I like to do it, you can only melt one side. I do one side totally unmelted and fully melt the other size. If you try to fully melt both sides you will get blowouts on both sides
@@beadamonpixels ahhh, that makes sense as to why I can’t get a completely flat side! I have much to learn!
Every single time I do it on the pegboard it ends up warping it, and it's not on the max setting and I'm not pressing down. Might have to do this method
Yup, that happens. That’s why I tape.
Is a regular iron good?
Yes!!
what iron is that
It’s a cricut easy press 2
What happens if I don’t poke holes in the tape?
He made a video about this, what can happen is air will get trapped inside the perlers, and when it expands from the heat it can make a mini explosion that can leave holes in the smooth side of the perlers.
I tried it just like that but mytape left a residue. I’m using Dunn Edwards painters tape (3M) what kind do you use
Painter's tape. Did you see the blue tape?
Will any iron work?
Yeah
Hey where do u get the melti beads parlers that attach together
Because I can never find those particular ones
The only 1’s I can find can’t attach to each other
(Sorry for any bad spelling
Spelling not my strongest point)
Those ones you can get from perler.com they are called snappix I think
@@beadamonpixels
Thx so much
can you also use wax paper
You can but shouldn't. Wax paper is Moisture resistant not heat resistant. Which means the paper will actually melt then catch fire.
My kids always curl, even tiny ones, how do u prevent that?
After ironing It you let It cool down with a heavy object on It (like a book)
hey! may I ask what is the tape that you are using? Your work is so good❤
Thank you! I like to use 3 inch painters tape
I always fail with the melt "(
Same, it melts both sides and i use the same temperature, should it be because i use masking tape?
Because I sell them by size
Gholdengo or golurk ev line
why do you use tape
So I can iron off of the boards. Ironing on the boards can melt them, as well as the beads.
You can iron it
thats what i do
Can I use duct tape?
Duct tape is too strong
@@beadamonpixels Oh ok thanks
Why this vid 144p
check your settings? lol its not
Umm JSUT keep it on the other thing it works JSUT fine and does no damage to anything so why make it so hard and waist tape
To make it look so much better then just fine
Another reason it’s good to use tape is so you don’t warp and destroy the pegboards. I’ve destroyed at lease four when making this mistake.
Why do people like this?
Because it's fun?
