Alachua Branch

Meeting Room

Design art with Perler beads, either using a template or your imagination.

At this program, participants will design custom works of art using Perler beads, which are small beads that can be arranged on pegboards and then fused together with heat.

Once you have finished arranging your design, a library staff member will use a clothes iron to heat the beads and fuse them together permanently. Plenty of templates will be available to use, but you will also be free to create your own designs from scratch! You can make as many designs as you like, time and resources permitting.

Join us every Wednesday afternoon for fun activities for kids. We'll do something different each week: writing workshops, Animal presentations, Perler Beads, Fiber Arts, video games, and more!

AGE GROUP: | Elementary (6-11 years) |
