Tips for space Perler bead projects
Space perler bead patterns cover rockets, moons, stars and one small visitor: the Cute Rocket Ship, Crescent Moon and Stars, Shooting Star, Happy Star Face, Pixel Space Alien and the Bat and Full Moon. Sizes run from the 15x13 alien to the 23x23 moon scene, so most fit side by side on a big board.
These designs suit a kid's bedroom or a space-themed birthday. Hang a rocket and a few stars from a wire hanger to make a mobile, stick the Happy Star Face to a notebook cover, or hand out aliens as party favors. The Crescent Moon and Stars looks great framed over a night light.
Glow-in-the-dark beads are a fun upgrade for stars and moons. Swap them in using the pattern maker by picking a glow color in place of yellow or white, then compare your stash to the updated bead counts. Black backgrounds are optional: these patterns are cut out to the shape, which saves beads and looks cleaner on a wall.
The rocket is tall and narrow (15x24), so iron it slowly and evenly from end to end. For more night-sky designs, see the weather patterns.
