Perler beads (also called fuse beads or Hama beads) are small plastic beads that you arrange on a pegboard to create pixel art designs. Once your design is complete, you use a household iron to melt the beads together, creating a solid piece.
It's a wonderfully tactile, screen-free activity that combines creativity with a satisfying sense of completion. Unlike digital art, you get to hold your creation in your hands.
