Autumn Perler Bead Patterns
Kids love perler beads! I know that mine have bags and bags of perler beads that they have created!
One of my favorite things about perler beads is that they are so good for developing fine motor skills! Having to pick up the small beads and place them in the right spots is an excellent way to have fun and to help your child develop all at the same time.
It’s also a wonderful activity for helping to increase focus and concentration.
How to Make Perler Beads
If you’ve never made perler beads before you need to start by getting together everything you need.
You will need a peg board to design your perler beads on. And you will need the actual perler beads that are made specifically for this project.
Then use the perler bead pictures below to design your fall perler beads. You can see from the pics how many individual beads there are. Simply count the beads to know where to place them on the board.
And feel free to try different colors! We made a multicolored pumpkin, why not?!
Once you’ve placed all of your perler beads in place you need to iron them to fuse them together.
Perler beads can be made for any topic and any holiday! Some of the perler beads we have made are Minecraft Perler Beads, Perler Bead Magnets, Halloween Perler Beads and Easter Perler Beads!
Let’s get started making some fall perler beads!
Fall Perler Bead Patterns
During holidays and seasons we make our perler beads into magnets so that we can display our seasonal perler beads on the fridge:)
Isn’t this squirrel cute?! A squirrel is a great animal to add to your fall perler bead collection! Imagine how cute he’d look hanging on your fridge:)
You can find the pattern that we based this squirrel off of here.
Pumpkin Perler Bead Pattern
Now I know that pumpkins are supposed to be orange, but my kids like to get creative;) So we have a multicolored pumpkin! You can definitely make your pumpkin orange if you’d prefer, or any color that your little one’s imagination can come up with:)
Turkey Perler Beads Pattern
The turkey is a must have for your fall perler bead collection! He is a little trickier to make, but definitely a fun perler bead design to create:)
Perler Bead Pumpkin
This pumpkin is my favorite! We found the pattern to make this awesome pumpkin here. Definitely check it out and add this one to your list!
Fall leaves are a big part of the wonderful fall season.
These perler bead designs are so fun to make because you really can’t make them wrong! You can make your leaves any fall color that you would like, and in different leaf shapes as well! Experiment and find out what type of leaf is your favorite:)
Fall Perler Beads
This is another favorite of mine. We found this design on Pinterest. Sadly the site it was on is no longer available so I can’t show you where we found it.
However it is a great design for fall! You can also experiment with this one and make your letters different colors and sizes as well.
The cornucopia, or horn of plenty, is another great perler bead design! We made a small one, but you make this as big as you’d like. By making it bigger you could add more detailed fruits within the horn.
Autumn Perler Bead Patterns
Acorns are an easy yet adorable perler bead design to make! Make a bunch of them and use them as decorations at your next fall party or Thanksgiving dinner!
We found the pattern for these super cute acorns here.
I couldn’t determine if candy corn were more appropriate for fall or halloween….. so I decided that they work for both;) Candy corn is the ultimate fall candy!
