Couldn't resist sharing how these turned out!

I’ve already started working on a very detailed tutorial for these flower designs to make sure they’re easy to recreate step by step.

Since it’s quite extensive and took a lot of time to put together, I probably won’t be sharing it for free.

If anyone is genuinely interested, feel free to message me — I’ll reply once it’s ready.

I honestly didn’t expect so many people to love these Perler bead flowers.

After reading through all the comments, I realized a lot of people were curious not just about the finished pieces, but about the actual process behind them — especially the shaping, folding, and how to make them feel more organic instead of flat.

I already made one basic tutorial, and now this gladiolus tutorial is the second one I’m sharing. I’m also thinking about creating more in-depth content around the whole process of making bead flowers.

Things I’d love to share:

• what beads I use
• differences between brands
• bead sizes
• color palette choices
• ironing techniques
• preventing warping
• petal structure and shaping
• how I assemble and secure everything
• packaging fragile bouquets safely

I also want to experiment with themed collections in the future — wedding bouquets, seasonal flowers, holiday designs, gift arrangements, and more.

It’s been really exciting seeing so many people interested in this style, and I’d love to keep exploring it further with the community.

The tools are really simple and easy to use. The difficult part is designing the flowers and making the bead patterns.Which one do you like the most?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been experimenting with Perler beads recently and tried making flower designs instead of the usual pixel characters.

Here are some of my pieces 👇

I’m curious about a few things:

1. Do these look good enough to be used as gifts or decor?

2. Would you prefer flat designs or more 3D bouquet-style pieces?

3. What would make something like this more valuable to you?

I’m also thinking about turning this into small DIY kits or selling finished pieces, but not sure if there’s real demand.

Any honest feedback or suggestions would help a lot.
