3d pokemon perler beads instructions

I was flipping through the channels on my television, when I came across a guy’s profile and website. He decided to turn his perler bead project into a business, selling his creations on Etsy and other sites. While scrolling through his art gallery, one of the pieces caught my eye: it was a Pokemon made of Perler beads. That’s when I thought that there has to be easier ways of crafting these detailed pieces; ways that don’t take hours of tediously placing single beads onto a pegboard. That’s why I created this guide!

The evolution of Pokemon Perler Beads has come a long way since I published my first set. Since then I’ve published many new versions: Charizard, Squirtle, Blastoise, Meowth and more. So far I’ve made just under 30 designs and I’m planning on making many more in the near future.

The pattern is available in both 4×4 nine square and 4×6 twelve square sizes! There are also two different versions for the eyes, regular and pokedex inspired. I hope this pattern makes your pokemon go a little farther 🙂

You may think you’d better just order from the internet and that everything you need should be ready to order, especially if you are trying to make them by yourself for the first time. But there is a catch. Some of the items you need for crafting pokemon 3d perler beads online might not be available in your community. So you can go ahead and order them in my online store. A lot of what I offer comes directly from manufacturers so I have good connections with them already.

We’ve been busy making 3D perler bead creations again. I saw this amazing Totoro trinket box on Pinterest and instantly thought we needed one that was shaped like a Pokeball. I knew it would be simple to make a 3D Perler Bead Pokemon box. It was, but there were a few glitches along the way. Hopefully this post will help you avoid them if you decide to make your own Perler Bead Pokeball box.

Easy to make 3D Perler Bead Pokemon Box

Supplies needed for 3d Perler Bead Pokemon Box

Red, white and black Perler Beads
Small circle pegboard (if you have 2 or 3 it’s even better)
E6000 glue
Wax paper
A heavy book

For this project I recommend using E6000 glue. It’s an amazing craft glue that adheres almost anything. E6000 dries clear. Once it’s cured, it’s actually waterproof and dishwasher safe. Many of the Perler Bead artists I know recommend it. You could probably use hot glue, but I didn’t because I was worried the bond wouldn’t strong enough.

BONUS TIP: E6000 is the perfect glue for adding a magnet to a Perler Bead creation.

Instructions for making a 3D Perler Bead Pokeball Box

This project is really simple You basically make the pieces, and then you glue them together. Honestly, you might not even need instructions and can figure out how to make it from the pictures.

BUT I like instructions when I’m making something, so I’m going to give you instructions.

Before we begin, there are two tricks that you’ll need to use when ironing your pieces for the pokeball box to come together correctly.

First, when you iron try to be consistent with the amount of pressure you use. If one of the parts is not ironed evenly your finished Pokeball will be crooked. The real key is not to melt one side of the piece too much. If you melt them unevenly, one side will be smaller than the other so it will not be level when you glue it all together.
Second, to make the Pokeball box every piece of this project will need to be completely flat after it’s ironed. Sometimes Perler Beads will curl a little and won’t be flat. This is bad. You can prevent that from happening by placing a heavy book on top of it as soon as you melt it with the iron. If you forget the book, and find yourself with curled up pieces You can heat the beads again with the iron and then place the book on top. I found this trick out when I made these Pokeball earbud holders.

Let’s start creating!

You are going to need to make a total of 10 Perler Bead pieces to complete your 3D Pokemon Perler Bead box. For each piece make sure you are using the tricks above when ironing.

First, you will need to make 2 Pokeball Perler Bead sprites created like the picture below. One is the bottom of the box and one is the lid. If you need instructions on melting and creating with Perler Beads I give the instructions HERE.

Make two of this pattern for your box.

For the outside of the box, you will also need to make 7 black Perler Bead outlines like the picture below.

You don’t HAVE to make 7. You can choose to make more or less of them based on how deep you’d like your box to be. My box is about 1 ½ inches tall with the inner part only being 1 inch deep.

Make 7 pieces using this pattern. They will be the walls of your box.

Finally, you will need to make one smaller circle like the pattern pictured below. This isn’t necessary, but I added it so that the top won’t randomly slide of my 3D Perler Bead Pokemon box.

Optional piece to help keep the lid on your box.

Gluing the 3D Perler Bead Box

One you have completed all 10 pieces, all that’s left is to glue them together. Oh boy, I was scared to glue mine. I guess was worried I’d botch it up and then have to start all over again. In fact, I was so nervous about it that I waited almost two weeks from the time I made the parts to the time I glued it together.

All that worry was in vain though.

It was easy.

You just have to do it slowly. When I say slowly, I mean one piece at a time.

Use E6000 glue to put all the pieces together.

Apply a thin layer of E6000 glue on one of the circle pieces. Then take another piece and place it on top of the other lining up the beads. Place those two pieces on a sheet of wax paper. Place another sheet of wax paper on top and then put a heavy book on top of it. The wax paper sandwich is there to protect your counter and your book. I’m telling you now, you will walk away with those pieces under that book and wonder if they are even going to stick. They will.

When working with E6000 glue here’s a few things to keep in mind:

It takes a few minutes for it to get tacky.
E6000 won’t actually begin to set for about 10 minutes.
The Perler Bead pieces more than likely won’t be stuck together at ALL for the first 30 – 60 minutes
E6000 can be rubbed off like rubber cement until it’s cured. Good news if you make a mistake.
It takes at least 24 hours to cure.

I did one piece at a time waiting at least 2 hours before gluing another piece. I’m sure, it seems like it would be a long process, it is.

All the large circle pieces will need to be glued to one of the Pokeball shaped ones. The other Pokeball shaped one will need the small circle glued to it.

Once the glue has dried your Perler Bead Pokeball box is ready for use. I use mine on my desk filled with paper clips. It would also be great for rings, earrings, loose change or hair clips.

Like most of my Perler Bead projects, this could easily be changed up to make something besides a Pokeball. You could make an emoji or a Captain America shield. You could even change the shape of the box and make a square box with a Creeper or Steve on it.
