Perler Bead Cat Template

When it comes to crafting Perler bead cats, we’ve included a free printable cat pattern to choose from.  Using any size pegboard, you can easily layout your Perler bead design, ensuring that every bead is in its rightful place before you apply the warm iron to fuse them together.

We strive to make SIMPLE crafts for all ages and this is definitely a super simple cat template. All you need to do is download the file or simply just print the picture and then place it below your Perler bead peg board.

Note; not all perler bead pegboards are the same size. This template might line up with some but not others. It doesn’t have to line up perfectly to use. You can simply place it below any pegboard and use it as a guide to place the different colored beads on top, even if the dots don’t line up exactly with the pegs.

Let us show you how to make a cute fuse bead cat design with vibrant hues by choosing colors like blue beads or yellow beads, and even the classic black beads. Whether you want to create a striking black cat silhouette or an adorable white cat with charming details, the possibilities are endless by just changing the colors out. These melty beads allow for a fantastic range of expression!

We used simple colors but feel free to swap the black out for yellow or green or any color that makes you happy!

Once you are done with the bead placement, grab the iron (don’t forget to use wax paper between) and melt them so they stick together.

Below is the other side of fuse beads where they are melted a bit more.

For early readers and young crafters, this project is not only a fun way to express creativity but also an excellent opportunity to develop fine motor skills. As they sort through the beads and follow the patterns, they’ll feel a sense of accomplishment when they see their adorable cats come to life.

You can see another version of a cat we fused together with the same template but with just a few small variations.

You can see when I place them on top of each other they are almost identical in shape, but the white one doesn’t have the black bead outline.
