FAQs

What is the diameter of the PhotoPearls beads?

The PhotoPearls beads have a diameter of 5 mm.

Can I use these beads without software?

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

How do I iron the beads together?

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.

Are the beads reusable?

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.

What kind of projects can I make with PhotoPearls?

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.

Can children use these beads?

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

How many beads are in a pack?

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

Troubleshooting

Beads are not sticking together when ironed.

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.

Bead colors do not match the photo accurately.

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.

Pegboard is damaged after ironing.

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.

Beads are inconsistent in size or shape.

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.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The primary setup involves selecting a pegboard suitable for the size of your intended design. You will also need a bead design software to convert your photos into patterns. Ensure you have a variety of bead colors readily accessible.

Compatibility: These beads are compatible with standard Nabbi pegboards and iron-on transfer techniques. They are designed to work with dedicated bead design software for pattern creation.

Care: Store beads in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to maintain color vibrancy. If ironing, always use a reusable ironing sheet or parchment paper between the beads and the iron to prevent melting or damage to the iron. Allow ironed creations to cool completely on the pegboard before carefully removing them.
