Where to Find Hama / Perler / Melty Bead Patterns?

Finding the right bead pattern for yourself or your kids can be quite challenging at times. Patterns vary in complexity, size, and suitability, and it"s not uncommon to encounter ones that are either too intricate or overly simplistic. Additionally, some patterns consist of mere photographs, making them less bead-friendly. So, where can you turn to discover the ideal pattern that aligns with your preferences and skill level? We"ve compiled a comprehensive list of valuable resources to assist you in your quest for the perfect bead pattern.



1. Pinterest

Pinterest is a treasure trove of craft ideas, including Hama, Perler, and Melty bead patterns. You can search for specific patterns or browse through dedicated boards and pins for endless inspiration. However, one common issue with Pinterest is that it often redirects you to pages with numerous ads and popups or provides only a photo of the final product.

2. Websites / Blogs

Many websites and blogs offer free bead patterns that you can find with a simple Google search. However, it can be challenging to access a proper pattern free of ads and popups that you can print and follow.

3. Official Websites

Producers also provide free patterns on their websites. For example, you can find free patterns on Hama and Perler websites. However, most of the patterns on the Hama website are designed for custom Hama pegboards, which may not fit standard pegboards you have at home.

4. Books

Books are excellent resources for bead patterns. You can find many books on Amazon or other online bookstores. You don"t need to print anything, and you can follow the patterns from the book.

5. Bead Craft Website / Mobile App

Finally, if you want to browse and print patterns without any ads or popups, you can use our website or mobile app. We already have dozens of patterns, and we keep adding more with each update. You can also design your own patterns with our mobile app.

You can download our mobile app from the App Store. You can also view the pattern within the mobile app and use the tools to make it even easier to follow.
