Steal these perler bead coaster ideas.
Perler beads are honestly so addictive. There’s something about turning tiny beads into pixel art that makes it impossible to stop once you start.
As someone who loves DIY projects, Perler bead coasters are one of my favorites to make. They may not absorb water, but I love them purely for the aesthetic.
In this post, I am sharing 10 Perler bead coaster ideas, complete with patterns so you can easily count, follow along, and make your own at home.
How to Make Perler Bead Coasters
Before jumping into the designs, I want to show you exactly how I make Perler bead coasters.
In the video below, I walk you through the full process step by step. I cover the materials I use, how I turn famous art paintings into Perler bead patterns, and the ironing tips that help everything melt evenly.
If you are new to Perler beads, or if you want cleaner results, this will make the process much easier.
Perler Bead Coaster Patterns
First, here are the three Perler bead coaster designs I made in the video.
1: Composition with Red, Blue, and Yellow
Inspired by Mondrian, this design uses bold lines and primary colors. Because of the clean layout, it is simple to follow and very satisfying to make.
2: The Starry Night
With more details and color changes, this one takes a bit more time. Still, watching The Starry Night come together in Perler bead form is totally worth it.
3: The Scream
Right away, the strong contrast makes this design stand out. Once finished, it’s easy to recognize and fun to display.

Now that you have seen the art-inspired designs, here are seven more Perler bead coaster ideas you can make at home.
4: The Great Wave off Kanagawa
For something more dynamic, this wave design works beautifully. Using different shades of blue helps add depth and movement. You can also easily replace the background with the color of your choice.
5: Snowflake
Perfect for winter projects, this snowflake design is simple and flexible. You can easily switch up the colors to match your style.
6: Teddy Bear
How cute is this teddy bear wearing a Santa hat? It makes a great last-minute Christmas gift or a fun reference during a crafting session.
7: Penguin
This penguin is absolutely adorable. Feel free to switch out the background color. I chose pink because it matches the rest of my coasters.
8: Fireplace
Although it uses more colors, this fireplace design is still very doable. I especially love how cozy the fire looks once it is finished.
9: Black Cat
Calling all cat lovers, this one’s for you. You can even adjust the colors to make it look like your own pet cat.
10: Turtle
I went a little wild with this one, but it still turned out great. If you don’t love the background, you can just make the turtle and turn it into a mini keychain instead. Little tip!
Overall, Perler bead coasters are a fun and creative DIY project that doesn’t require many materials. Whether you choose one design or try all ten, each coaster lets you turn simple beads into something personal.
Hopefully, these Perler bead coaster ideas inspire your next project.
