About Perler 116×116 patterns

Perler is the most common fuse bead brand in the US. Patterns use Perler color codes such as P18 Black and the matching item numbers printed on the bags, so you can shop straight from the color list.

116×116 works well for large photo mosaics and statement wall pieces. The PDF splits the design into one page per 29×29 pegboard with row and column numbers, so you can build it board by board.

Tip: Check the color list before you start: large patterns can need several bags of the most-used colors.

How to make a bead pattern from a photo

  1. Upload a picture. Choose a photo or drawing (JPG, PNG, WebP). It stays on your device — nothing is uploaded.
  2. Pick your beads and board. Select Perler, Hama Midi or Artkal S, the pegboard size (29×29 pegs is standard) and how many boards wide and tall the pattern should be.
  3. Adjust colors. Limit the number of colors, use only the colors you own, enable dithering for smooth gradients and tweak brightness, contrast and saturation.
  4. Export and build. Download the PNG, the printable PDF with one page per pegboard, and the bead count list (CSV) to use as a shopping list.
