Introduce children or celebrate your favorite team in Major League Baseball by making one of these baseball Perler beads.
The origins of baseball can be traced back to England in the 18th century, where bat-and-ball games were being developed before being brought to North America in the mid-1800s.
Today, baseball is played in many parts of the world, and it’s considered the national sport of the U.S. Get pumped for this season by making one of these baseball Perler beads below.
3 Baseball Perler Bead Accessories
Here are some Perler bead accessories that will provide you with that competitive edge and allow you to score that home run.
While making Perler beads is done for leisure, there’s nothing wrong with creating more complex designs, such as the ones in this 3D Perler bead pattern guide.
- Circle Perler Bead Pegboard: It’s more difficult to assemble a baseball design on a square Perler bead pegboard than it is on a round one. It’s doable, but why go through the hassle of figuring out the angles of the ball with a square pegboard when it’s easier to just get this round pegboard?
See more patterns that use this pegboard in this list of circle Perler bead patterns.
- Perler Bead Tweezers: If you’re having a hard time placing those fuse beads in the right order, perhaps a pair of Perler bead tweezers can do the trick.
- Biggie Perler Beads Bucket: Give those Perler beads a much more solid appearance through these Perler “biggie” beads, which are a bigger version of the usual melty beads. One of the advantages of bigger beads is that they’re easier to pick up, especially for little children who are just starting to develop their fine motor skills.
7 Baseball Perler Bead Patterns
Let’s learn the basics of baseball by making these seven baseball Perler bead patterns, which include the equipment used in the sport. People who play or watch baseball regularly will no doubt appreciate having one of these designs to display.
1. Baseball Perler Bead Pattern
Completing a baseball design on a square pegboard is difficult but very doable, just as how halokiwi‘s design demonstrates. At the core of a baseball is cork encased in two layers of rubber.
The cork center is then wrapped around layers of yarn, which is covered in two pieces of animal hide, usually painted in white, and hand-stitched together with a red cotton thread.
2. Softball Perler Beads
A softball is a type of baseball, usually used for training purposes or safety purposes when playing indoors. It has a distinct yellow-green color and it’s typically made of synthetic material. It also differs in size and weight, being slightly bigger and heavier than the regular baseball.
Here’s creative_1 showcasing the softball.
3. Round Baseball Perler Bead Pattern
The baseball is made of a light material and has specific measurements that allow the pitcher to throw different types of pitches.
Here’s a baseball pattern designed for the round pegboards shared by Nicky.
4. Baseball Glove Perler Bead Pattern
A baseball might be bouncy but it’s heavy enough to cause some serious damage when thrown at very high speeds. Catching it can be hard on the hand, but luckily, kitsumeow has this baseball glove Perler bead pattern both for fielders and catchers.
