I’ve always been drawn to mushrooms. I don’t know about you, but I think they’re super cute.
I definitely didn’t love eating them when I was little, and it took me a bit of time to appreciate them as an adult. But now I love the food AND the symbol!
In fact I didn’t know the symbolic meaning of mushrooms, so I looked it up. And apparently it’s good luck and health, energy, and transformation. Um, yes please!
I knew I loved them.
If you like them too, then you’ll appreciate these mushroom perler beads. I had SO much fun with my nieces doing these projects! Everyone from kids to adults will enjoy these projects!

There are over 25 patterns that I know you’re going to love. They’re a super easy spring or summer craft if littles get bored. But of course, you can make them any time of year.
Oh, and you definitely have to see our gnome perler beads! We’ve got some fun characters over there, in addition to fairies. They look great with mushrooms.

Perler beads are recommended for ages six and up, so this is a very fun craft to try with your elementary age children. All kids seem to love perler beads (also known as hama beads, fuse beads, or melty beads).
Are you ready to try the patterns? Check them below! Don’t forget, you can customize them with your own colors. You don’t have to do what I did. Happy crafting!
Mushroom Hama Beads
Make sure to check out these notes:
- 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 multiple square peg boards together to form a larger “canvas.”
- Some of these patterns use a round pegboard; you’ll definitely want in your arsenal just generally speaking.
- Most of the easy patterns are at the top. Keep scrolling if you want to get more difficult patterns (I’ve got all levels!).
- You’ll see a couple of the pattern backgrounds below aren’t white – that’s simply to give contrast so you can see where all the white beads should go. You don’t need to add the background (but you can if you want to).
