The short answer: yes. Michaels carries Perler beads in almost every store: single-color jars, mixed buckets, kits, pegboards, and ironing paper. It is one of the biggest Perler retailers in the country.
Michaels is a good first place to look because the selection is wide and coupons are frequent. The main limits are shelf space: small stores carry fewer colors than online.
What Michaels carries
- Single-color jars: the standard way to buy, one color per jar.
- Mixed buckets: big containers with many colors for beginners.
- Kits: themed sets with boards, patterns, and beads.
- Accessories: pegboards, ironing paper, tweezers, and storage.
- Mini beads: sometimes, in select stores and online.
How to get the best price
- Check the Michaels app for a coupon before you go; craft stores run them constantly.
- Compare the per-bead price: big buckets beat small jars by a lot.
- Check online stock if your local store looks picked over; same prices, more colors.
- Buy single colors you actually need, skip big kits you will not finish.
Whatever you buy, use the counts in our bead count guide to know how much you really need. And if Michaels is out of stock, our shop and other online stores cover the same ground.
