My Ironing Tips for 3D Perler – Part I

Fixing the Pieces

So I can’t say enough how much I love the masking tape, because it saved so many of my perler beads and precious time. I often have mistakes on my perler pieces for the 3D creations, and inserting extra row or missing one happens all the time. Therefore, I found masking tape extremely helpful so I do not have to redo the pieces and waste any beads at all. Here are two ways how I fix the perler pieces using the masking tape.

I Love this Masking Tape from Perler Bead because it has holes. I used to get it from Hobby Lobby with a discount but lately I found they don’t carry it no more! So I get it on AMAZON! Feel Free to check out my affiliate link below to get yours to complete your project :)!

Here are my essentials items for doing this. I like the masking tape from Perler Brand because they have holes like the pegboard, and it is easier for me to position the beads align with the original pattern. Also, I like the ironing paper from Perler Brand as well because of the texture and the way I can resize them. Please see my affiliation links below to check out these two items :).
