These 5 designs sit outside the small one-board collection. Use them when you have space for a connected layout; the complete grid, including blank guide margins, determines board fit.
Plan a quick project
Small Perler bead patterns make it easier to practice counting, color placement and ironing without committing to a large board. The main collection keeps every design within one standard board while still giving animals, food, nature, seasonal ideas and simple symbols enough detail to read clearly.
Every chart in the main collection fits one standard 29×29 square pegboard, including its blank coordinate margins. A strong silhouette helps you keep your place, while repeated color blocks reduce accidental swaps. Try Green Turtle for a tiny build, Baseball for a compact sports motif, Alien for a two-color face, or Shark for a fuller 29×29 ocean scene. A one-board footprint describes the space you need, not how easy a narrow tail or a close pair of shades will be to build.
The one-board patterns use 45–670 beads and 2–13 Perler colors. Compare both numbers: a wide two-color outline and a dense multi-color face require different sorting and counting. Small describes board fit, not a promised completion time. Each card uses the same merged Perler codes as the detail-page material list; switching brands can merge or separate colors. Check the updated list before buying or sorting beads.
Opening a design loads the same grid shown in its coordinate chart into the free editor. You can replace colors with beads already in your box, erase cells, repair an outline or switch among Perler, Hama, Artkal, Nabbi and Mard planning palettes. When the small Perler bead pattern looks right, export a printable chart with coordinates, color codes or symbols and an exact material list. Always compare screen colors with physical beads before a final build.
Labels and counts
Subject labels are editorial categories. Low-color picks follow the same color-first, bead-count-second order as the collection. Fewer colors mean less sorting, but check the outline and narrow details before choosing your first project. Grid size includes blank guide margins, and bead totals count occupied cells. Perler color totals merge source roles that map to the same manufacturer code. Each full chart is rendered one-to-one from its published grid, with four-way coordinates and uncluttered color blocks inside the grid.
Choose a subject and check its exact grid size, bead total and number of colors.
The selected grid loads into the homepage editor. Recolor it, erase cells or switch between Perler, Hama, Artkal, Nabbi and Mard palettes.
