Minecraft Perler Bead Keychains. 12 free printable Minecraft Perler bead patterns. Designs for Creeper, Steve, pickaxe, sword, and more!
Earlier this week, I shared how we made a Minecraft fishing game for my son’s Minecraft party. Today, I am sharing how we created the Minecraft Perler bead keychains we used as part of our party favor bags.

How to Make Minecraft Perler Bead Keychains
Perler Beads are the perfect craft supply to make into keychains. Since the beads already have a small hole, attaching a keychain in the corner is easy. This is a fun craft to do with the kids.
Supplies:
- Perler Beads*, various colors
- Small Square Pegboard
- Perler Bead Patterns (see below)
- Iron and Ironing Board
- Keychain Rings
- Needle Nose Pliers
* Perler Beads can also be called Pyssla Beads
Create a Perler Bead Pattern
Start by printing the Minecraft Perler bead patterns shared at the end of this post. You can also pull up the PDF on your computer or phone to refer to as you work.Â
These print on an 8 1/2″ x 11″ paper. You could place these in a sheet protector in a binder to create a fun Perler Bead pattern book.
Use the small square pegboard to create each of the designs.
Next, follow the pattern to create your design on the pegboard.
Iron the Design
Follow the instructions that come with your beads to iron them together. For mine, you place the pegboard on your ironing board or mat.
Place ironing paper over the pegboard. In a circular motion, begin to iron the project.
The beads should still have open centers. Fusing the beads should take about 10 seconds. Let the design cool.
Remove the paper. Flip the project over and repeat the fusing process on the opposite side. Let cool completely.
Note: Fusing the design should be done by an adult.
Add Keychain to Perler Beads
Attach a keychain ring using one of the holes at the top or bottom of the design. To do this, open the jump ring using needle-nose pliers.
Lastly, slide the jump ring through the hole in the design. Use your pliers to close the jump ring.
We created a ton of designs!

You can find most of the images from the game on Minecraft Wiki, which can help you create even more designs. Since everything in Minecraft is pixelated, the designs are perfect for trying with Perler bead crafts!
Helpful Tip: You can use the Kandi Pattern Maker to create Perler Bead patterns. I used it to make the patterns I am sharing with you today.

How do I print the correct size?
Laura Silva says
Amy,
I am not sure what you mean by the correct size? These patterns are meant to be used as a guide that you look at as you place the beads on the pegboard. If you want to print them larger or smaller, you can change the settings when you open them on your computer.
