Perler Bead Animals

Fifty-two animal boards converted bead by bead from community designs onto the real 103-color Perler line — a whole kennel of corgis, shibas, huskies and golden retrievers, orange cats and calico kittens, carrot bunnies, pandas, lambs and penguins, from 9 beads wide up to 116. Each one separates fur, inner ears, eyes, nose and mouth into their own zones — so a cheddar corgi becomes a gray one in two clicks, without redrawing anything.

51 patterns all free to print 66 bead colors

Start with Corgi Butt Peek (17 beads wide) or a cozy carrot bunny if this is your first board: mostly one color with a few details. Save the 116-wide showpiece for after placing beads from a printed grid feels natural.

FAQ

Which animal pattern is easiest for beginners?

Corgi Butt Peek — 17 beads wide, big color areas, and it reads instantly. The cozy carrot bunny (23 wide) and the garden lamb (24 wide) are close behind.

How long does an animal pattern take?

A 17-to-30-bead-wide animal is a single evening — under an hour of placing plus a few minutes of ironing. The 116-wide showpiece is a deliberate weekend board at several thousand beads.

Can I turn these into keychains?

Pick anything under 30 beads wide — the small corgis and bunnies finish around 4 inches and hang well. Iron both sides firmly and add a jump ring through one corner bead before the final pass. The big boards are shelf-and-wall pieces.
