Do you use a heat press or an iron?
I am getting ready to make my first one not have a press yet
Wonderful! Let me know how it goes and if you have any questions. If you don’t have a heat press yet, they make things so much easier. The circuit mini is fantastic!

Just ordered a mini heat press thanks to you!
Wonderful! So happy to hear that. You're going to love it! Please keep me updated and let me know how your experience is! :)
@@nostalgicnicknacksWelp, first melt went pretty good, second one went TERRIBLE! 😅 I think the third setting is way too hot, even smelled burned and every bead was warped, guess I gotta put it at the low or medium heat lol!
Thanks for the update. Sorry the high heat setting didn’t work for you. It takes some finess, but I think you’re right..maybe try the 2nd heat setting. Let me know how that works for you, I’ll have to try it too. 👍🏻 Never give up!
The results looked really good! Have you tried making flat melds with both of the heat presses as well?
I currently keep getting blow outs with my iron, so I'm thinking that the heatpress you showed might be my solution.
Thank you for the helpful video!
Thanks for your comment and checking out the video! You're very welcome and I'm glad that it's helped you.
I have tried a full melt with the bigger heat press and it works great! I'm planning on doing a video soon showing that process, so look forward to that. You can't go wrong with either one of these heat presses...I've been using them for a few years and they are still going strong (very even heating!) I think the even heating helps tremendously with the full melt technique.
Have a great day and Happy Beading!
Ryan
@@nostalgicnicknacks I bought the big heat press after your comment and just tried it out. I absolutely love it! Such a big difference compared to the iron. The results are way more even and it was soo much faster.
I also tried to go for a flat melt which didn't work out as I wanted yet, but I think that's partially the brand I'm using. Looking forward to your video on that!
Thanks again for your video! You're a beadsaver!
Haha! Very good. You're very welcome!
Feels good to be a beadsaver! Glad you love it! :) It really makes a huge difference. It literally made the difference between me quitting perler beading or not. Before I discovered these presses, the process was very frustrating....now I enjoy it, even would say it's relaxing!
Keep working on your full melt, you'll get there. Yep, I'll have that video soon. Great stuff!
Awesome tips for someone just beginning their Perler journey! I love your heating technique. I have the cricut mini, but I definitely want that big heat press you have now. 😅
Thanks for your comment and kind words! I'm so happy it helps you out. I went through some trial and error to figure things out, so I'm happy it helps you! The bigger iron is wonderful! It's just the right size. Heat technique definitely has to be practiced and I went through a bunch of terrible looking projects before getting it right. Your ironing paper makes a difference too! Check out this video if you haven't already. czcams.com/video/hJ9K4kEUU6M/video.html
I tried the biggest size heat press, and it was too heavy...so I was on the search for a good medium size and this one works perfectly! Go for it, I highly recommend it. :) Have a great day!

Of course! I’m so happy it helped you. Have you been peeled beading long? Stay tuned for more!

@nostalgicnicknacks will do. Thank you ryan.
You’re very welcome!
I just use a normal iron
That's great! I'm glad it works for you ....I just couldn't deal with the inconsistent results and how heavy it was. The heat press is fantastic for those trouble spots! Thanks for checking out the video!
