Tips for holiday Perler bead projects
This page collects all our holiday perler bead patterns in one place, currently Halloween and Christmas. On the spooky side you'll find the Jack-o'-Lantern, Cute Ghost, Witch Hat and the big Haunted House (29x29, a full large pegboard). For December there's the Christmas Tree, Santa Hat, Gingerbread Man, Candy Cane and more.
Timing helps. For Halloween, start in late September so you have time to make treat-bag tags, a window garland of bats and ghosts, or a pumpkin coaster set. For Christmas, begin in early November: ornaments, gift tags and stocking stuffers take longer than you'd think when you make a whole family's worth.
Small designs like the Candy Corn (9x11) and Candy Cane (9x17) fit several to a board, which is useful for party favors. To make ornaments, place a small ribbon loop through the top bead before ironing or add a jump ring after. If you want school or team colors on a holiday design, swap them in the pattern maker.
Store finished pieces flat in a zip bag between layers of paper so they come out ready to hang next year. Browse each holiday on its own page: Halloween and Christmas.
