PhotoPearls - 5 x 5 mm - 1100 pcs

The PhotoPearls beads have a diameter of 5 mm.

While software is recommended for converting photos into patterns, you can also create original designs manually on a pegboard without software.

Place the beads onto a pegboard. Cover the beads with an ironing sheet or parchment paper. Iron gently with medium heat (no steam) for about 10-20 seconds until the beads fuse. Let cool completely on the board.

Yes, the beads are reusable. If you iron them, they will fuse together. However, you can carefully separate them if needed, or simply use new beads for new designs.

You can create a wide range of projects, including custom portraits, landscapes, decorative wall art, personalized gifts, keychains, mobiles, and themed decorations for rooms or events.

Yes, these beads can be a fun and educational activity for children, but adult supervision is recommended, especially during the ironing process.

This specific product listing is for a pack containing 1100 beads.

Ensure your iron is set to the correct temperature (usually medium heat, no steam). Make sure you are using an ironing sheet and apply even pressure for the recommended duration (typically 10-20 seconds). Allow the design to cool completely on the pegboard before attempting to move it.

Color perception can vary. Experiment with slightly different bead colors in your design software or manually to achieve the desired shade. Consider the lighting in the original photo; very dark or overexposed photos may be challenging to replicate perfectly.

Always use an ironing sheet or parchment paper to protect the pegboard. Avoid excessive heat or prolonged ironing directly on the pegboard. If damage occurs, replace the pegboard before starting a new project.

While these are high-quality beads, very rarely, a few might be defective. Carefully inspect beads before use and set aside any that appear significantly different. Consistent placement on the pegboard also helps mitigate minor variations.
