Get free patterns for Bob Ross perler beads! You’ll love making these cute projects that commemorate one of the most famous painters ever.
Did you watch Bob Ross on the Joy of Painting (on PBS) when you were younger? Of course you did. Because you remember Bob’s soothing voice, his hair, and the happy clouds and trees he used to paint.
I don’t know what it was, because I never picked up a paintbrush and tried a landscape. But I watched the show religiously. We all did.
There’s something cool about a guy who is having such a great time painting, and it’s interesting watching a painting come together from beginning to end.
When I was younger I would never have imagined that some of his works would eventually sell for close to $20,000. Yet here we are, years after the show ended in 1994.
Bob has become a staple of pop culture (have you seen the documentary on Netflix?). While he passed away in 1995, his son Steve Ross still teaches lessons. His legacy lives on!
Today we’re celebrating the man with some Bob Ross perler beads. We’ve been doing tons of perler bead projects lately, and as a crafting blog it seems negligent to miss sharing these patterns.
Not only are there Bob Ross perler patterns, but there are some cute palettes with paint and brushes. And some Bob accessories! I think you’re going to have a great time with these.
Perler beads are recommended for ages six and up, so this is a very fun craft to try with your elementary age kids. If you’re ready to use perler beads (also known as hama beads, fuse beads, or melty beads), you’re going to love this collection of patterns.
