The short answer: pegboards sell everywhere beads sell: craft stores, online marketplaces, brand sites, and our shop. One standard 29 by 29 square board covers most projects, and a second one only costs a few dollars.
You do not need to buy a full set of shaped boards. Start with one square board, add a second when a pattern is wider, and only buy shaped boards when a specific design needs them.
Where to buy
- Craft stores: Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Joann, and their equivalents carry standard and shaped boards.
- Marketplaces: Amazon sells single boards, sets, and multi-board packs at low prices.
- Brand sites: Perler, Hama, and Artkal sell their own boards with full compatibility.
- Our shop: perlerbeadai.com/shop bundles boards with beads and paper in one order.
- Second-hand: boards are durable and common in used craft lots.
What to buy
- One standard 29 by 29 square board for 99 percent of small projects.
- A second board when you start larger patterns or want to work in sections.
- Skip shaped boards until a specific pattern calls for them.
- Check the peg spacing: Perler, Hama, and Artkal boards all share the same spacing, so they mix freely.
Our pegboard size guide explains every common size, and the shop carries the boards you will actually use.
