Street Fighter Perler Beads Patterns To Try

Ryu Perler Bead Street Fighter

Street fighter is a classic video game that has been in arcades, pizza shops, and bowling alleys for as long as I can remember. One of the classic characters is Ryu who is unable to control his dark side. Ryu develops an alter ego known as evil Ryu. He practices the martial art known as Shotokan style karate. He’s known for his classic white gi and his long red headband.

Street Fighter Ken Perler Bead Sprite

This iconic character is testing any fighter on his journey to get stronger. He is mostly known for his ripped red sleeveless gi. Ken is the best friend and rival of Ryu. They train and fight to see who’s skills have improved. There will always be a never ending debate over who is the better fighter… Ken or Ryu.

Chun Li STF Perler Beads

The first female fighter character to ever appear in a fighting game. Chung Li is a fearless Interpool officer with a special signature spinning bird kick move that is sure to take down the strongest of fighters. So many are marveled by her Chinese Kenpo style moves. Her main mission is to seek revenge on the Shadaloo crime syndicate.

Guile is another fighter who is looking to get his revenge on the Shadaloo syndicate. He is a commander in the United States Air Force. If you like pro wrestling mixed with marine corps martial arts, then he is the fighter you should get to know. Other than being known as Ken’s brother in-law most identify him by his camo pants and spikey blonde hair.

Dante Ross created most of the full cast of Street Fighter 2. Sagat scar and eye patch are perfect. I really would have liked to see Guile, Chun Li, and E. Honda. Maybe one day Dante will get around to making those.

Where To Buy Perler Beads

What are perler beads and where can you buy them? Perler beads are small circular pieces of hard plastic that you put together on a peg board to form a design. Then you melt the plastic using an iron with bead ironing paper. The final look of the project will look joined and meshed together, not like the tiny separate circles that you started out with.

You can buy them in small packs or large bins of 22,000. Most craft stores like Michael’s, Jo Ann Fabrics, A.C Moore, and Hobby Lobby sell perler beads. Some other places to look for them can be online at Amazon, eBay, Walmart, and Target. I find that in my area, I get lucky at the local thrift store. I have found large bins of perler beads at Goodwill for about $3.94. Shopping at Savers, Value Village and 2nd Avenue has also worked out for me. You even have a choice to buy the mixed or separated. The mixed colors come in bigger containers ranging from 6,000 to 22,000 beads. While the individual colors come in smaller bag sizes, anywhere from 100 to 600 pieces.

I am sure as soon as the weather is nice again I will be able to score a few from yard sales and community yard sales. Church rummage sales are another good place to score some beads. You can always ask the person if the have any to sell even if you don’t see them out on the table. Especially if they already have crafty looking stuff in their yard sale. Let’s face it, people don’t bring out everything they want to get rid of. There are some other places that you can find perler beads that you normally wouldn’t think could sell them. I have gotten small themed sets from Barnes and Nobles, Five Below, and Kohls.

The possibilities are endless with perler beads. You can find so many creative projects online on YouTube, etsy, ebay, and Pinterest. My son and I do projects together all the time. We have made earrings , small gifts, and drink coasters so far. I get so many compliments on my pixel feather earrings. Everyone thinks they are Minecraft arrows. His next project will be a large Pokemon that he wants to put on his wall. Shopping to them is fun too. I don’t only just look for the beads, I try to look for storage bins, perler boards, and bead ironing paper. Going to the Goodwill is an adventure. I get so excited to find a 22,000 bin that is barely used for under $5.00.
