Cool idea. How large can you make them?

I always see these at fairs and malls and really dig them, but don't buy due to the huge markup given to such items in those settings.

What's your price looking like? I've had a couple ideas I'd like made for the game room.

Do you have pics?

Part of the reason it might seem like a big markup is because doing perlers is a very time consuming process.

A lot of art/craft type stuff simply isn't worth the time investment to try and make any kind of business or side hustle out of. Crowded space as well.

Nah you just gotta convince people what your time is worth.

If Walmart can pay $15/hr starting wage, society should be willing to open up their wallets a little more to artists for their work.

Of course most video game perlers are straight sprite copies, not usually artistic endeavors.

I added a pic. I only had two on hand. They can be done like the black mage where its fully melted, or like Naruto where the holes are still visible I don't really have any prices in mind. I enjoy making them, but I don't have a game room anymore so I have nothing to do with them. Figured I'd see if anyone was interested on here. They can be anywhere from small to large based on the design itself. I use standard 5mm beads

Those are really well done. Suggestion: Add a ruler or tape measure to the picture so people can easily see how big they are.

That's a great idea. I will

Those are pretty cool! And done well too. I recognized what they were right away.
