Occasionally I'll pick something up from Joann fabrics with a coupon, but not recently. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful, and good luck finding the colors you need!Rebecca Majorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482860570048957630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774270617018016428.post-13510922061129140432020-04-24T17:05:14.583-06:002020-04-24T17:05:14.583-06:00I have gotten into this over quarentine.

I'm just wondering where you buy all your colors...I usually order off of perler.com or amazon. Just curious if there is any other websites that would be worth my while to look at other websites during this time. I have also tried fusebeads.com and let me tell you... EVERYTHING i needed or wanted was completly out of stock. Its crazy. Thank you for this outline of all the colors...6 years later it still help people, who knew?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01767708236504557606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774270617018016428.post-85989239492320712732019-09-04T10:30:30.929-06:002019-09-04T10:30:30.929-06:00Hello! I'm glad it's helpful for you. Last...Hello! I'm glad it's helpful for you. Last I checked, Perler does put the name of the color on individual bags - it's on the back above the barcode. <br /><br />The bucket I talked about is the Multi Mix bucket (https://www.perler.com/perler-storefront-catalog/products/categories/beads/22000-beads-multi-mix-_17000/) but please note that I wrote this blog post in 2014 and it is possible that the Multi Mix bucket has changed. (I don't think it has, but I haven't bought one in quite a while.) Also, Perler has released quite a few new colors since 2014 that aren't mentioned in this post. Hope this helps!Rebecca Majorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482860570048957630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774270617018016428.post-37651811491533663982019-09-01T15:38:45.276-06:002019-09-01T15:38:45.276-06:00This is super helpful as I am new to doing Perler ...This is super helpful as I am new to doing Perler beads and have been very frustrated with trying to distinguish between some shades of a color. I really wish Perler would put on the individual bags what the name of the color is. As far as the bucket that you mentioned, I have a bucket, but it seems to have different colors than the ones you mentioned? It's called the classic and stripes bucket and has some of the neon colors and the sparkly purple, etc. No bubblegum which makes me sad and not the same greens that you mentioned. Which bucket are you referring to?

They have come out with a few more since this blog post went up. <br /><br />For patterns, I get most of mine from www.spriters-resource.com - they have a huge database of sprites from video games. Google image searches work well too if you want to see what other people have made that isn't necessarily video game specific. I would not pay for Perler bead patterns as there is so much available online for free. You can also create your own using Microsoft Paint - zoom in as far as you can, and each pixel is a bead in your pattern.

My husband and I are getting back into making things with the Perler Beads. Is their anyway you can make a pdf of the colors listed. It would help us out so much and do you know of any stores online that either sells or gives away Perler patterns. I have been searching for two days now,getting ready to give up. Thanks for being so knowledgeable its nice to come upon this.Keep up the great work.

If you order from the Perler website, that's the one you will get. Before that launched, there was a very limited run of a different shade of grey with the same name (as you described) that was more skin tone, but I never was able to get my hands on any before it disappeared again. If the one you have looks like it's more in the beige family, it's probably the first one, because the Perler Light Grey available now is definitely in the grey family of colors. It shades beautifully with white and grey and wouldn't look good as a skin tone.

I...I agree this is a terrifically helpful resource! I'm wondering if you're aware of Perler Light Gray. Putting the pieces together, and I may be wrong in several of these details, they made it for a limited time under the number 80-15171, and it was more of a very light beige than a gray. Then they discontinued it and brought it back under the number 80-15181, and from the pictures, the new one looks more like a true light gray? I'm not positive. I recently bought a bag at Michaels, but the ones I have are the light beige color, so I use them for skin tones. I therefore presume it's the older light gray rather than the new, that they had sitting around in stock, but I can't verify this, as I threw the bag away before I knew to look at the number. Would be interested to know if you know anything about this/these color(s)!GlassyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01228612890601403798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774270617018016428.post-89671272248092953562016-02-22T21:46:50.345-07:002016-02-22T21:46:50.345-07:00Glad it helped!Glad it helped!Rebecca Majorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482860570048957630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774270617018016428.post-21123237108710625722016-02-21T17:19:45.878-07:002016-02-21T17:19:45.878-07:00Thank you so, so much for this blog entry.

If you buy a bucket, you will need in addition dark gray, sand, light green, orange, cranapple, peach, creme, pastel yellow, green, pastel blue, and maybe periwinkle, and probably and additional bag of black just in case. Of the remaining colors, an 11k bucket should provide enough of each. I think they take 2 trays usually. As for Final Fantasy VI... there are a lot of characters, so it may take me a while to figure that part out.Rebecca Majorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482860570048957630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774270617018016428.post-71158737051276825472014-05-19T13:55:54.666-06:002014-05-19T13:55:54.666-06:00Thanks for doing this series!
