Size is the only difference between Hama beads and Perler beads. Perler beads only come in one size, while Hama beads come in three and can be slightly taller than each other.
Since perler beads are little pieces of plastic, it is definitely not good for you. Eating plastic is never recommended or beneficial.
Perler beads which are similar to Hama beads are small tubed beads that can be "glued" together by using an iron. Some really creative ideas are animal shapes and Christmas ornaments, although the ideas are limitless.

Your local arts & craft stores like Michaels carry Perler beads. Michaels has a huge selection of the beads and the peg boards in basic and complex shapes. They also carry kits containing peg boards and beads in the shape of fun characters and designs.
You can actually use parchment paper too. If you loose the paper that the perler beads come with, use wax, parchment, printer, or foam paper. You can also use sketch book paper.
There is a lot of different ways to do it, but i just did it this way... Things you will need: Hot glue gun beads (speed beads) black perler beads. You get one color of speed bead, and 1 black perler bead, you put glue on the bottom of the black perler bead and than quickly put it into the speed bead hole. Than let it dry. Hope you like it!
i dont know but you put it like this and that then it form well
There is a special ironing paper that you need that should come with your perler beads. Once you are done creating your design, you put the paper over it and you get an iron and move the iron around in circles so to melt the beads evenly. Then once they are melted, take the design off and put the paper on the side that hasn't been melted, then do the same thing.
