Perler Beads Assorted Multicolor Crafts Reviews Summary

Value and Quantity

Pros:

• "Seriously great deal for this many beads!"
• "Huge amount of beads for a low cost! They are good quality perlers and I love getting so many in one set."
• "Sturdy giant container of those meltable beads... This is a good price, will be an impressive gift, and will last a long time."
• "Love the huge variety of colors in this assortment. For quantity, variety and quality it can’t be beat."
• "As far as price per bead, this is by far the best deal you will get."
• "This is a huge jar of beads, and a wonderful mix of colors."
• "Great for the price. Work well. I've been making little video game sprites with them, they stay pretty defined as blocks when melted which is nice."

Cons:

• "I realized that it comes with a very small amount of black beads, so I'll have to buy an extra pack of just those."
• "It's a bit of a pain sifting through these to find the color you need...they end up all over the floor!"
• "If children under two years old in your house DO NOT BUY. They cause airway & bowel obstructions that can cause serious injury or death."
• "Since it doesn't come with any peg boards, I do recommend getting some basic shapes."
• "ALSO, if you're going to start a Perler bead project PURCHASE EXTRA BLACK BEADS! A majority of the designs we looked at required a black outline."
• "The beads are very small and should not be left around very young children."
• "Also some of the beads are cut different lengths than the rest so when you iron them together some change colors."

Color Variety and Selection

Pros:

• "I absolutely love the variety of colors and have made plenty of perler creations."
• "Nice mix of colors, about 30, but the mix is not even so don't expect equal numbers of any color."
• "Very happy with this product. Good selection of colours to work with. Would definitely order again."
• "The variety of colours is great, something for every project."
• "Every color imaginable is there."
• "The colors are rich and bright, making the creations really come alive."
• "There is a good variety of colors and a ton of them."

Cons:

• "Great value for the amount. Many colors, but it’s missing true orange. That’s what I found pretty upsetting and I gave four stars."
• "Ok, unpopular opinion here. There are too many colors in this set. I spent way too long today helping my daughter find regular orange because there is also neon orange, a coral color plus this weird yellowish tan."
• "There is no true orange, only a 'Kraft Mac-n-Cheese' color, and neon orange, and the red is more of a neon red."
• "Our kids love perler beads and this is a great cost savings for them. The only thing is a pain to separate the colors."
• "You need good light and good color vision to separate some of the VERY similar colors."
• "Some of the colors are pretty close to each other and are a little to difficult to sort out."
• "It doesn't come with light pink or a good variety of pinks, no normal orange and the main colours run out easy."

Quality and Usability

Pros:

• "You can make a bunch of crafts for the price of this tub! Super fun and entertains for a while! Great amount for the price."
• "This will keep my kids busy for hours but they insist that i help them find those certain colors!!"
• "Thery are a good choice for crafting ect, my daughter tried others but finds these are a better quality."
• "If they spill, they vacuum/sweep up easily."
• "These really are good for hours of fun!"
• "These beads are of great quality and work well when I am making video game sprites."
• "They're durable and melt together well."

Cons:

• "It's a quarter of the price compared to buying color packs directly from EK Success."
• "I would not recommend this craft for kids under 4, they do not seem to have the dexterity to manipulate the beads even in a random pattern."
• "More symmetrical, they are easier to work with."
• "The only thing I didn't like about this was having to dig for colors! There also doesn't seem to be as many black as there are other colors, so order extra black."
• "To our surprise there are no pegboards. I believe that the pictures of the finished animals are misleading and can cause confusion."
• "Some of them are literally the same color, one being opaque and the other being somewhat translucent."
• "I bought these in hopes of making them into enamel dots for greeting card decorations as shown on Pinterest. They never melted into a nice oval dots."
