Amazon, Michaels (any craft store really), and Beadtin are good places to look, all places sell the supplies you need. But if you are looking online, make sure you read what size you're buying. There have been times I've bought really small Perler beads by accident (thankfully the kit came with its own board and some tweezers).

I get all my perlers + boards from michaels, but I think any craft store could work, also Walmart

I got most of mine on sale at Michael's and I used Michael's coupons on top of that. I bought tubs of 22,000 beads. I bought containers and bag clips and sandwich bags at the dollartree for storage.

I also order from Perler direct--when they're doing sales.

Fusebeadstore.com is someplace else I buy from.

I watch out for sales from Joann's, too.

I use midi sized beads--which is the standard size. That's 5mm. I use 29 x 29 pegboards. I initially bought a kit of (2) each of different shaped pegboards: square, heart, circle, hexagon. I recently bought a pack of two clear 29 x 29 square pegboards for about $5 at Michael's. Any tweezers work for me, but I got the green Perler pair, too.

I use parchment paper to iron--baking section of grocery store/market. ProTouch masking tape is my go-to tape, and I use a pushpin to punch holes in the tape before I iron.

I've been using my regular clothing iron, but, I just bought a little Tulip craft iron just for my Perler designs. I think I prefer my super hot iron, so far.
