Bluey Perler Beads (10 Free Patterns)

Get over 10 patterns for Bluey perler beads! You’ll love these cute designs based on characters from Australia’s favorite kids’ show. These are great for kids or adults!

G’day friends! If you’re here, I’m guessing you’re a huge fan of “Bluey,” the Australian children’s televisions series that was first broadcast on ABC Kids in 2018.

My nieces love it, and I think it’s super cute. I also love the fact that each episode is only seven minutes long. It’s great for those with short attention spans!

One of my favorite things about the show is the subtle references added in for grown up viewers. You might notice nods to pop culture, movies, and even classic paintings hidden in the background or in character interactions.

The creator of the show, Joe Brumm, drew inspiration from his own experiences as a father to create the realistic and relatable family dynamics portrayed in the show. He wanted to capture the humor, challenges, and joys of parenthood.

And through the adventures of Bluey, younger sister Bingo, dad Bandit, mom Chilli, and a bunch of friends . . . he has. It’s a hilarious and sweet show!

I’m excited to share some Bluey perler beads with you that I really think you’re going to love. I’ve got ten patterns for you from large to small, representing the most popular characters of the show.

We’ve still go to do some of Bluey’s friends and family, so I’d love to know which ones you’d like to see first in the comments!

Perler beads are recommended for ages six and up, so this is a very fun craft to try with kids. They love perler beads (also known as hama beads, fuse beads, or melty beads). But don’t be shy – adults love them too!

Tips for Using Perler Beads

Before we get into the patterns, I want to review a few basics of using fuse beads to make sure you get the best results. If you don’t want the tips, scroll down to the bottom to get the Bluey perler bead patterns.

Remember that the overall goal is to melt the beads together on both sides while still leaving the holes open. Here’s how you get the best results (using a rainbow as an example).

Use Ironing or Parchment Paper

Place ironing paper or parchment paper over the beads on the pegboard. Be gentle so you don’t disturb the beads underneath.

Heat your iron to the medium setting (no steam). In a circular motion, begin to iron the project. Don’t press down too hard with the iron.

When ironed properly, the beads will still have an open center. Check and make sure your edges are melted. Let the design cool on the pegboard.

Note: BE CAREFUL about lifting up the paper while you’re ironing! If you want to check, carefully peel back paper around the edge of your design and see if all the beads are melted.

If you lift the paper up quickly and there are a lot of unmelted beads, they will easily fall off or go flying and you may be forced to start over. Sometimes the edges need more time so when you check, just check the edges and peel paper back slowly.

Another Note: some beads melt faster than others (clear melts faster than white, for example). So some holes might be larger than others. It’s okay! That’s part of the look of the project.

Iron the Other Side

Remove the bead design from the pegboard. Flip it over to the non-melted side and repeat the fusing process.

Remove the Paper

Let cool completely and remove the paper again (which is reusable). Some people pull the paper off after they iron the first side, but I just wait until the end and peel off both pieces. It’s up to you!

Now if you’re ready for the Bluey perler patterns, here they are.

Bluey Perler Bead Patterns

Note: A few of these patterns are larger than a 29 x 29 pegboard, so you’ll either need a extra large pegboard (49 x 69 tall) or to put four square pegboards together (or two depending on how wide the pattern is).
