Our review

The Perler Beads Bucket 11000 Count is a mega-sized refill tub built for kids, classrooms, and craft rooms that go through fuse beads fast. Instead of buying small single-color bags every week, this bucket gives you a huge assortment of standard 5mm Perler beads in dozens of colors, all packed into one reusable storage container with a snap-tight lid. It's designed to keep a steady supply on hand for pixel-art projects, coasters, keychains, and holiday crafts without constant restocking runs. Each bucket ships with a mixed color palette so kids and adults alike can freely design multicolor patterns, from simple flowers to detailed video-game sprites. The beads are made from the same fusible plastic Perler is known for, meaning they melt evenly under an iron with parchment paper or a Perler ironing sheet, fusing into a solid, durable piece of fused-bead art. The generous count means multiple projects can be made side by side, which is great for classrooms, birthday parties, or scout troop activities. Beyond the beads themselves, the bucket doubles as a long-term storage solution. The sturdy plastic tub keeps beads contained and organized, reducing spills and lost pieces compared to loose bags. It's a practical pick for parents managing an active craft station, teachers running group activities, or hobbyists who simply want a deep, reliable stockpile of fuse beads without worrying about running out mid-project.

Perfect for my classroom

I teach art and this bucket has lasted my students an entire semester. The color variety keeps kids engaged and the bucket makes cleanup so much easier.

Never running out again

My daughter is obsessed with Perler beads and we used to buy bags constantly. This bucket solved that problem completely. Great value for the amount you get.

Great quantity, heavy container

The bead count is amazing and quality matches other Perler products. Only downside is the bucket itself is a bit bulky to store on a shelf.

Ideal for group crafts

We used this for a birthday party with six kids making keychains and had plenty left over. Beads melted evenly and colors were vibrant.

Good bulk option

Solid value if you or your kids craft often. Wish it came with a couple of pegboards, but the bead quality itself is exactly what you'd expect from Perler.
