how do attach multiple layers of perler beads? like how you did your minecraft block?
To attach them, I occasionally use glue or fishing line. On the tardis I made, I used glue at the top.
However, in the case of the minecraft block, If you notice the different placements of beads, it’s made so that they fit together when ironed like a puzzle. This is rather tricky and full attention is required when melting the beads. All of them have to be melted about the same otherwise it wont fit yet it cant be undermelted or it will fall apart and they cant be melted completely flat otherwise there’s zero chance of it even fitting.
hope this helped!

One great way to find a pattern for Minecraft blocks is to google search the textures and copy those.

Do you have a program you use to convert pics into perler bead patterns? I can't find one that is any good and I have a couple of custom characters I want to make :)
i’ve heard about something like that but never looked into it. usually if i’m doing a picture, i just take whatever color is most similar to it. after pixelizing the image. However, if you do find a program like that that’s pretty good, do tell us! it sounds pretty cool.
can you make Lola bunny from looney toons(just the face)?
I’ll do my best. Just give me a week [:
uhmm i guess what ever is easier
I’ll see what I can do next weekend. [:

well heather and I usually buy them at either AC Moore or Michaels. They have individually-packaged colors. You might be able to order them online, though.

The best place that ive found them at called JoAnns if you have that there. they have all the colors that they make there. i dont have one where i live but when i go to my grandparents, i always stock up where they live upstate.
You can also order them online.
