In this video, I’m breaking down Fuse Beads (also called Perler beads) basics in the simplest way—so even if you’re totally new, you can start confidently. I show you the core supplies I use and how I set up my pegboard design, then I walk you through the most important part: ironing. The goal is to help you understand the process so your bead art doesn’t shift, melt unevenly, or lose its shape. I also make a cute fuse bead dragon in this tutorial, so you can see the full workflow from placing beads to finishing the final piece. I share the exact materials I used—5 mm multicolor fuse beads with a shaped pegboard, ironing/butter paper, an iron, and curved forceps—because these small tool choices make a big difference in control and clean results.
