PerlerPal
Posted on February 23rd, 2008 by Ed
So, a while back, Chris showed me what people have been doing with Perler Beads, which are these little beads that you melt together to form into cool designs. People have been taking video game sprites and have been making some very cool items with them. I recently got started with them, and decided I’d make a tool to make it a little easier to layout the design, color match to the Perler palette, etc. Well, after a few hours of work, here it is! PerlerPal. I’d really like any comments you might have!

PerlerPal is JUST what I’ve been screaming out for!
errm… except that I can’t get Perler Beads in the UK (YET!!!)…
Have you considered adding the Hama Colors to your program? (or the option of using either?)
Anyways, your program is excellent!
Cheers

Hi
Let me give you an outline of what I do. I am a manager of an Adventure Playground in England that caters for children from age 6-16yrs old. As we are in England the beads we use are Hama beads. We’re going to be doing a project of decorating 2 full walls of kids beads and doing their own designs using your program would be great,but I do have a few problems
1/ As we are using Hama Beads the colour does not match up. I have been trying to find a comparison chart of the 2 but without success.
2/ How on earth do I save the picture once uploaded onto your site? I need to be able to print of to let the children follow the instruction per board
Thankyou in advance for your help
Graham
I found a color chart for Hama over at the Bead Sprite Forum. I’ll probably do an update with the Hama palette and a print option real soon.
