[Line-art puppy keychain](https://listium.com/@pixelbeads/144875/perler-bead-ideas/0/line-art-puppy-keychain) Item ID: `0` - Image: ![Image](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/b97f0999-73ef-4232-938b-2530e3e8c83e/original.png) - bead number: 50\*50 - Notes: Beginner-friendly shape with a clean outline, good for a keychain or backpack charm. Keep the black outline continuous, use only a few accent colors, and iron lightly so the small details stay readable. ### 2. [Stitch character portrait](https://listium.com/@pixelbeads/144875/perler-bead-ideas/1/stitch-character-portrait) Item ID: `1` - Image: ![Image](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/8a8388c2-a780-46a1-963e-f3601a53e713/original.png) - bead number: 70\*75 - Notes: Intermediate portrait idea for a 70x75 board. Use it as a wall tile, desk display, or framed gift; separate the ears, face, and shadow colors clearly so the character still reads after ironing. ### 3. [Minecraft Totem of Undying](https://listium.com/@pixelbeads/144875/perler-bead-ideas/2/minecraft-totem-of-undying) Item ID: `2` - Image: ![Image](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/ae6f4080-c0df-4fdc-b21d-61c9f011f988/original.png) - bead number: 30\*30 - Notes: Compact Minecraft-inspired icon that works well as a magnet, coaster center, or small gift tag. The 30x30 size keeps the bead count manageable; double-check symmetry and keep the green, gold, and tan areas distinct. ### 4. [Minecraft Diamond Sword](https://listium.com/@pixelbeads/144875/perler-bead-ideas/3/minecraft-diamond-sword) Item ID: `3` - Image: ![Image](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/876945fc-c4b6-4d7a-86e9-aba8dc2d7926/original.png) - bead number: 15\*15 - Notes: Quick beginner build with a very small 15x15 grid, ideal for testing colors or making a fast badge. Use two or three blue shades for the blade and leave a sturdy handle so it does not warp when lifted from the pegboard. ### 5. [Pokemon Eevee mini portrait](https://listium.com/@pixelbeads/144875/perler-bead-ideas/4/pokemon-eevee-mini-portrait) Item ID: `4` - Image: ![Image](https://img.listium.com/images/width=800,height=800,fit=scale-down,format=webp/l/e6420909-b32a-4782-80be-4a11c53c0c32/original.png) - bead number: 70\*70 - Notes: Larger character portrait for makers who want a more detailed display piece. Plan the browns, creams, and highlights before placing beads, then iron from both sides carefully so the 70x70 layout stays flat. ### 6. [Mini rainbow magnet](https://listium.com/@pixelbeads/144875/perler-bead-ideas/6/mini-rainbow-magnet) Item ID: `6` - Image: - - bead number: 18\*18 - Notes: Fast color-practice project for beginners or kids. Build a tiny rainbow with a simple cloud or border, then add a small magnet to the back once it cools; keep the piece under 20x20 for a quick session. ### 7. [Cat face coaster](https://listium.com/@pixelbeads/144875/perler-bead-ideas/7/cat-face-coaster) Item ID: `7` - Image: - - bead number: 35\*35 - Notes: Simple square-coaster project with a clear cat face shape. Use strong contrast for the eyes and whiskers, and make the border at least two beads thick if the coaster will be handled often. ### 8. [Flower bouquet charm](https://listium.com/@pixelbeads/144875/perler-bead-ideas/8/flower-bouquet-charm) Item ID: `8` - Image: - - bead number: 30\*40 - Notes: Good practice for mixing several small colors in one build. Make the stems slightly thicker than a single-bead line and use a clear background or border so the bouquet does not feel fragile. ### 9. [Retro game controller](https://listium.com/@pixelbeads/144875/perler-bead-ideas/9/retro-game-controller) Item ID: `9` - Image: - - bead number: 35\*25 - Notes: Fun desk decoration for game fans. Keep the controller body symmetrical, use a dark outline, and place the buttons last so the spacing stays even. ### 10. [Mushroom cottage coaster](https://listium.com/@pixelbeads/144875/perler-bead-ideas/10/mushroom-cottage-coaster) Item ID: `10` - Image: - - bead number: 45\*45 - Notes: Medium-size coaster or wall tile with room for a red cap, windows, and a little greenery. Sketch the roof first, then fill the background so the silhouette remains readable. ### 11.
