I talked with a lady once who only ironed her projects on one side. She ironed on the opposite side of the one she was going to use to display them so that the front always looked smooth, clean and not melted.

[@chesswy1139]

it bends if u do that

[@gemmamalo96]

@@chesswy1139 i only do one side, but laying something heavy on it works so it doesn't bend

when i was little these were called hama beads and my mom would only iron one side. i like that look, too.

Haha, I feel like I'm learning more from the comments than the actual video. I really wanna be making these things now.

[@itsm0n0xide]

U shouldn't use wrinkled paper if ur fully melting the lines will show in the beads

[@I.C.Weiner6969]

Found this out the hard way

[@malinka200410]

Tbh it when I move my iron In circles, it ruins my project but when I just put it still in one spot it works fine. Just a suggestion xd this works for me, but probably doesn’t work for everyone so don’t think this is the “Correct way” to iron the beads. Good luck!

[@austinrutland1750]

yeah same like i think its cause i used different iron sheets but it alwyas gets weinkled

[@Chris.T.Ortez138]

Thank you so much! Great video! I’ve been using parchment paper for a while now and thought all this time that I was doing it wrong.

[@omikronweapon]

Why are so many comments about melting and burning things? Do you just put the iron on full and leave it on there for an hour? start at low temp and ramp it up slowly if it doesn't work. I guess the fully fused 'square' style is a personal preference? I like mine the best when they're fused at the back, but the front is still nice and unmolten.

[@autumnturtle6000]

I accidentally melted mine too much and some got stuck to the paper and others to thw plastic board 💀

[@saffiya4310]

Lol I melted my board

[@jakelol5119]

I did my first one and I'm happy. I have a cheap $7.50 Steam Iron that I bought from Kmart and it worked. At first I had it on a medium setting but I came to this video and since she said on the max I did exactly that and it worked. It failed the first 2 times so I had to keep repairing it. Did the little Minecraft creeper head as my first one.

[@thelandoftheory]

Loving the fact that you own a book on Greek mythology. ;D

[@JodianGaming]

Way too much heat, you don't want the holes to close. You want them to shrink only slightly and stay uniform across the whole design. The goal is to melt the perler beads together, not destroy the shape of the beads. I tend to use a medium heat and go in slow even circles. The tip of the iron is where heat is focused, so only use that if you have a really stubborn bead that's refusing to fuse to the one beside it, and only use that tip on the edge of the bead to melt it to the adjacent bead (avoid the holes). Be patient, you can't rush art if you want it to be nice, and follow these tips. Your perler creations will look so much better.

[@slushyzack]

Fellow Moonie, this video is a life saver! I kept getting impatient and taking the paper off while it was still warm because I wanted to be sure I did it proper XD I ran into the problem of curving, too. Thanks so much!

[@IzludeTingel]

How do you prevent it from smoothing and to keep the bead appearance?

[@kyliewileywumpuswoorankin9017]

Lots of people use the masking tape method (it's very simple, just Google "masking tape perler bead method"), and then only iron one side and just make sure to iron well. It will leave the other side looking untouched, which some people prefer

[@susantenhor1123]

I'm not crafty at all and the instructions in our kits are NOT clear. Thank you very much for this video.

[@charlottevanessen]

Hi I have Hama (I’m from Netherlands) and Hama shows to only iron one side and shows on the box that the not ironed side is the front and instructions they don’t say wich side is the front they say it’s ready when ironed. But perler beads say to iron both side so what is the correct way of ironing and when done wich side is the front? I always thought the not ironed side and I thought Hama was the main brand of fuse beads and that other home or cheap brands from stores like ikea or something it was a fake 😂 but just recently I found out there are/where more quality brands like perler but it’s American so not our main brand. But I am glad perler and Hama are almost the same quality cause I was scared that I had a crappy brand and perler where better and you almost can’t get it somewhere here. So I am just gonna continue with Hama 😊 it’s also all I have known since my childhood.

[@DocTwisted]

[@orange_dougnuts8728]

damaged.harlequin look up “perler beads masking tape method” it shows how to use tape to avoid melting your boards

[@l0kaltpsykf4ll34]

if you know what you are doing & dont iron on the board longer then 4 second intervalls until the beads has melted then you shouldnt have a problem with melting/warping the board & IF you do warp the board then take a hairdryer & heat it up and put it under something heavy overnight , thats atleast what i do when i accidentaly warp my board,

[@TenchiJeff]

I'm trying to make the Mario block coin bank, and I overmelted the hinges. Should I melt them off and try to attach new ones, or just trim off the bit that's too big?

[@FiloPixie]

that's a tough one, i struggle with interlocking hinges. If you cut them off you can always place it on some masking tape and iron it to attach it back on

[@isakmikkola5909]

When I iron most of the black just gets smaller and smaller. They dont melt together they just get really thin with a hole in the middle. And if I use lighter colours with the black like yellow. The melt and get a really weird colour. what can I do...

[@FiloPixie]

+Nisse Nasse where are you getting your beads from and what brand are they?

[@isakmikkola5909]

FiloPixie THe brand is Hama and i get them from a store called PANDURO in sweden.

[@FiloPixie]

+Nisse Nasse I know that the hama brand does melt differently to the perler brand. I found that the hama brand is melts much faster so I tend not to iron for too long. Perhaps try a different/lighter heat setting?

[@isakmikkola5909]

+FiloPixie so I can maybe turn the heat down a little?

[@FiloPixie]

+Nisse Nasse yeah try that and make sure you keep moving your iron to heat it evenly, hope it helps!

[@mousekateer627]

Thank you very much. When question though. After I finish ironing it and the beads are in tact do can I iron the other side to match or will it damage the shape?

[@FiloPixie]

it shouldn't damage it so as long as you place something heavy on top to keep it flat

I don't know if my iron gets hotter than yours, but if I went over the beads for as long as you did the beads would be nearly flat. And don't even put my iron on the highest heat setting. I'm getting better at not melting the beads too much, but occasionally I still do it and it's so frustrating!

[@l0kaltpsykf4ll34]

you ironed it for too long , it happened to me too when i started out too , try evenly ironing it with 4 second intervalls on the highest setting while making sure to keep the iron as straight as you can & then carefully lift the parchment paper to check your perler bead creation, when everything is stuck together you can flip the board & let it sit for 5-10 min for it to release from the board .

[@skifisk]

I am failing to get the info what is the ideal temperature to melt these .. "medium" is absolutelo no info .. my iron has to set exact temperature like 120 degrees or 160 .. I usea professional iron .. I don´t have a basic one .. on my first press I melted the beads with the first borad completely in only 10 seconds .. it was liquid when I opened it ... I used 160 degrees so I guess 100 is "medium" ? :D .. thankfull I bough 20 boards as I expect that I will melt 10 before I figure out the basic settings that the manufacturer forgot to mention like EVERYWHERE ...I am also shocked why the board is not made of heat resistant silicone .... :/ (110-120°C is the perfect temperature if anyone don´t want to suffer like me) :) .. also lasercut a wooden frame taller than the board and 1mm smaller than the beads and you will never damage your board.
