Heyo I thought I would share some tips bc I learned alot throughout the few months I have been doing them
Kandi:
-If u have pets, be extra careful bc they can and will get to them
- If using a pattern, line up beads for that row and then pick them up
-Elastic string is the best to use but you dont have to! I have alot of kani using random string
-Get one of those grid organizers with the kandi in them bc you can reuse the container for beads or perlers
-If making a lot, get the bags of kandi instead of the grid one. The'll last longer and its worth it
-You 100% dont need a needle to make a cuff
- Put more than just perlers on! Random charms, keychains, I even used a pic printed on paper taped on cardboard once
Perler Tips
-PLS PLS PLS Dont wear long baggy sleeves when making. Ruined so many bc of them
-Get tweezers or some kind of tool bc its hard to reach the middle if you mess up and YOU WILL.
-Sort. Your. Beads. It saves sooo much time to just reach for that color instead of searching for it
-If you dont have an iron or cant use it, heat up a pan and put the pan onto the parchment paper and perlers
-If your perlers slightly curl, after you remove the iron, put a bag of frozen vegetables on without removing the parchment paper
Drop any other tips so we can all help eachother
