What are fuse beads?
Small 2.6 mm beads you place one by one on a pegboard, following a pattern. A few seconds with the iron fuse them into one solid piece.
At 2.6 mm they hold far more detail than the chunky beads of childhood — ideal for faces, gradients and small jewelry. The gesture is slow, repetitive and calming.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Your questions, answered
What are fuse beads and how do they work?
Fuse beads are small plastic tubes placed on a pegboard in a pattern. You heat them with an iron through ironing paper; the edges melt and fuse, and once cool you get one solid flat (or 3D) piece.
What's the difference between mini (2.6mm) and standard (5mm) beads?
Beads come mainly in 2.6mm (mini) and 5mm (standard). 5mm is large, easy and fast, good for big pieces. 2.6mm gives far more detail, ideal for faces, gradients and jewelry. Same design, 2.6mm looks finer but takes longer.
Which brand of fuse beads is best? (Perler vs Hama vs Artkal)
All three work; the difference is melt point and origin. Perler (US) fuses hotter, Hama (EU) lower and faster, Artkal (Asia) also fast. More important than brand: choose genuine quality fusible beads.
Should I buy a full set or refill by color?
Mixed tubs are cheap but sorting takes forever and common colors run out fast. Better to buy refills by color as your project needs (extra black and white).
How many beads / colors do I need to start?
Start with a base palette (often around 48 colors), enough for most beginner designs. Then top up by color as your patterns need, with refills (1000-2000 beads), extra black and white.
Are different bead brands compatible with each other?
Generally not recommended. It's technically possible to mix them, but keep a few things in mind, in order of importance: 1. Color differences matter most — even with the same color name, shades vary between brands, and the difference shows within a single piece. 2. Different melting points — each brand melts at a different temperature, so during ironing the beads don't fuse at the same moment, giving an uneven result. 3. Slight size differences — in practice, diameter differences between brands at the same size are usually minimal and rarely an issue; pay more attention to small variations that can occur between batches, even within the same brand. Tip: for the most reliable color and ironing results, stick to one brand and one batch within a single piece.
