Halloween Perler bead patterns

Friendly spooky designs for fuse beads: ghosts, bats, jack-o'-lanterns and more, small enough for one pegboard and quick enough for a party.

Party crafts that work

Halloween fuse bead designs make good party activities because children can finish one before the party ends: give each child a pegboard and a pattern, and let an adult do the ironing at the end. Ghosts and bats need only three or four colours, so a few mixed bags of beads go a long way.

Glow in the dark

Most fuse bead brands sell glow-in-the-dark beads. Use them in place of white on the ghost, the skull or the pumpkin's face, and the decorations glow in a dark window after a few minutes in light. Check the bead size matches your other beads first.

Frequently asked questions

What is the easiest Halloween Perler bead pattern?

The ghost and the bat: few colours and bold shapes. The jack-o'-lantern takes a little longer because of its carved face.

Can I make magnets or keychains?

Yes. Glue a small magnet to the back of a fused piece, or leave a hole near the top for a keyring.

Do glow-in-the-dark beads fuse the same way?

They melt at much the same setting as ordinary beads, but iron a test piece first, since brands and colours vary slightly.

Are the patterns free?

Yes. Every pattern is free with a printable PDF and a bead count.
