How to Hang Perler Beads on the Wall

The short answer: push pins through the bead holes, adhesive strips, or strong magnets. All three hold well, take seconds, and leave no damage on the piece.

A fully ironed piece is basically a flat plastic tile with a grid of holes, which makes it one of the easiest crafts to hang. You do not need a frame or a hook for most projects.

Three ways to hang

  1. Push pins: slide two pins through bead holes near the top edge and press them into the wall. Works on drywall, corkboard, and painted walls.
  2. Adhesive strips: attach two small command-style strips to the back corners and stick the piece flat to the wall. Best for a clean, gallery look.
  3. Magnetic strip: glue a flexible magnetic strip to the back and press the piece against a steel surface, or use a magnetic paint section of wall.

For heavy or large pieces, add a third point of support. Two pins near the top and one near the bottom keep a big project from tilting forward.

Small pieces, zero damage

Keychain-sized pieces do not need pins at all. A dab of removable poster putty on the back holds them for months and comes off clean. The same trick works for hanging them inside a locker or on a fridge. See our full display guide for framed options, and find patterns in our library.
