How to Make a Spooky Ghost with Fuse Beads

Here are the quick instructions.

Grab your Spooky Ghost Perler fuse bead template at the bottom of this post. Print the template to its actual size and lay it under a clear Perler pegboard or beside a solid-colored pegboard. Place a jelly roll pan or something flat under the perler board that can be moved if your child isn’t finished with it and you need to move it.
Using a fuse bead pegboard that is at least 29×29 for 5mm beads. Working from top to bottom or side to side carefully place the beads one by one into the pegboard. Be sure to count across if you can’t see the template through the bottom. Work on aligning the pegs in place to duplicate the template.
When you have your Ghost complete. It is time to iron. *Make sure to do this part for your children. Heat the iron to low-medium and lay the pegboard holding your Ghost craft on the ironing board. Place a square of parchment paper on top and gently press the hot iron on top of the Ghost and press and hold for 10-20 seconds. when the Halloween perler beads are melted together and cooled. Remove from the pegboard. Set the Spooky Ghost on top of the ironing board and do the same thing on the opposite side using the parchment paper again. Be sure to keep the iron set way back so the little kids don’t get a hold of it and turn it off as soon as you’re finished.

Perler Bead Large Ghost Pattern

When it comes to easy patterns this one is definitely the top of the list. Its large ghost form is mainly one color with some accents along the sides. If you want to make it a little simpler just leave the hat off or remove the pumpkin. For this friendly ghost, you will need either glow-in-the-dark or white beads. No matter what ghost perler beads you choose this ghost will be adorable. Be sure to give your ghost a smile so your friends or family can decorate with an upbeat ghost look. If they are more into scary give your ghost a shocked or angry face.

The cute ghost pattern is super versatile and can be added to or taken away from. The dark beads are for the hat but you can choose different colors like any other Halloween perler bead projects you make. Creativity is a top priority when it comes to all things crafty for kids of all ages. Using a little bit of grey around the edges of the ghost really makes this Perler craft look complete.

Let your little ones help with this fuse bead craft as much as they can because it helps with their fine motor skills. If they have too much trouble look at getting a Perler Bead Dispenser or a pair of fuse bead tweezers. If your child isn’t old enough to follow perler patterns just give them small boards and some colorful beads and let them practice.

I like to have different shapes of plastic pegboards for the little kids to work on. You can find them in all shapes and sizes. Your kids can make different shapes, zigzags, or even their own version of an easy Halloween craft while their siblings make their ghosts. Make sure they have enough beads but not too many that you spend the remaining afternoon picking the melty beads up.

Printable patterns like this Ghost or this Haunted House Fuse Bead Template are just some of the great Halloween perler bead designs out there. If you search “free Halloween Perler bead patterns” you will find lots but the best place I have come across is Kandi Patterns. You should be able to find lots of cute ghost patterns if this one doesn’t work for you.

Lots of Perler bead supplies can be found at your local craft store like Micheal’s, and stores like Target or Walmart just carry the bare minimum. Halloween crafts usually use colors like orange, black, white, purple, and green so be sure to have those colors on hand throughout the fall season. A jack o lantern melty bead pattern or just a pumpkin would be a great craft for filling in a rainy afternoon with fun.
