Porygon Perler Bead Art DIY

Steps on how to create this Normal type Pokémon

Greetings, Vocal readers. It's been a while since I've done a perler bead DIY. Having a hectic schedule is normal for me, but it keeps me going and motivated. You must be wondering what the whole point of this picture was shown above. I have an answer for that. The DIY that I've done two weeks ago is none other than Porygon. Porygon is described as a Virtual Pokémon standing at 2’7” and weighing at 80.5 pounds. It’s genderless, meaning that it doesn’t identify as neither male nor female. It also can covert its body into digital data, traveling into cyberspace. For the Porygon perler bead creation, you’ll need the following items:

•Perler beads: pink, light blue, white, and black

•4 large pegboards

•Ironing paper

•Iron

First, interlock all four pegboards. Make sure that you have them placed on a flat surface, such as a table.

Start with the outer part of Porygon's polyhedral head by using black beads. Then use the black beads to create part of his eye. Finally, use the light blue, pink, and white beads to fill in the rest of the parts. Its beak should be pointy.

The next part of this creation should be easy, because Porygon's body is hexagonal, meaning that it has six sides, as you can see above. Be very careful when placing the beads in the right places, especially the placements of the black beads. Now get ready for the most difficult part of this, because it'll require lots of concentration and patience.

The most difficult part you'll need to make is Porygon's blue triangular prism feet. You'll be using light blue and white beads. Finally, don't forget to add in the rest of the parts using black and pink beads (seven of them at the end of its right foot).

Last but not least is the really easy part of this: the making of Porygon's blue rectangular prism tail. All you need is light blue, black, and white beads to make it. Note that the white spots are used in this so that Porygon would stand out well. Now that you have finished completing Porygon, it's time to iron it.

Grab your ironing paper and tear a considerable amount of it, placing it on top of Porygon. Next, make sure that your iron is at the highest setting with no water or steam, both are not required while ironing any creation. I set my iron at a four and ironed my pillow for a few seconds to make sure it was really hot. If your perler bead creation is large, then you need to set your iron at a much higher setting. However, if you're working on something smaller, then your iron should be at a lower setting. Carefully iron Porygon in a slow, circular motion until the beads mold together. Let it cool for 30-35 minutes before repeating the same process on the other side.

Here's the final result of Porygon. You have now made this Normal type Pokémon. A few months ago, Pikachu was the very first Pokémon I made. It didn’t take me long to create and iron it. As far as Porygon is concerned, it took me at least three hours to create it and have it ironed. By the time I was finally done, it was two o’clock in the morning. If you have the patience and willpower to make a Pokémon like Porygon, anything is possible.
