Family Guy HUGE Project (IMG Heavy)

[Sphynxz]

One weekend, I decided that I wanted to experiment with making a ridiculously huge perler bead project. I found two sprites that I liked, combined them, and added a couch...that took about 2 hours....UGH!

I bought the supplies and started on the project. It took two full weekends.

I used 50 square pegs, I have no idea how many perler and hama beads, and lots of energy drinks.

This was the first weekend's work. I ran out of Peter's skin color; so, I had to wait.






All the pieces together. I used textbooks, hand weights and much more to keep it flat.


I bought two pieces of heavy duty foam board for the backing. After I glued the project on the board, I laid it upside down and put all the weights back on top to keep it flat. Then, I used an exacto knife and cut the excess board around the picture. It's HUGE (4'X3') and there are a lot of mistakes; however, it's the first big one I've done.

This is absolutely amazing!I cant believe how big the piece is.  I know you said there are lots of mistakes,but I cant notice any of them from the pictures. Great job, I wish I had the patience to do this!

Amazing!

[Sphynxz]

Hehe! I'm glad you all like it. I was actually pretty surprised with my patience too; but, time kind of flew once I got the hang of it. After the border was on, I just zoomed through filling it. I think the next big one I attempt will either be a life-size Bender from Futurama or the USS Enterprise (obviously not full-scale).

[Homerof2]

I'm not a Family Guy fan but I've worked with perler beads before and know how much work must have gone into this project - great job!!

[ophycore]

I am beyond amazed! It takes me ages to make small things, that must of required some effort!! <3

[UrsulaDiamond]

hahahaha oh my god this is amazing! I love perler and family guy

[nureintier]

This is fantastic!

[lovelylemons]

Man, that is immense! You've put so much time into that. Nice job.

[Sphynxz]

I'm glad everyone likes it! I think that the beads only cost me about 25-30 dollars and the boards were like 5 bucks each. I already had all the pegboards.

[chattyKathi]

perler beads are the ones that melt with the iron right? good gravy woman that's a lot of beads! awesome job! What are you going to do with it?

[angelofthelastday]

Uh... mistakes? I am sure you are the only one that notices them!

[anniemail]

This is ridiculous.  That is a monster of a project.  We only have 4 boards and we're happy when we get something that takes that size done.  Great work!

[SneakyFoxeh]

That is awesome! <3

[KittyHerman]

Whoa!!!!  That is truly amazing!
