How big is a Perler bead QR code?

A typical short link such as https://artpatt.com makes a version 2 QR code, 25×25 modules. With a 2-bead white border that is exactly 29×29 — one large square pegboard (841 beads), about 14.5 cm / 5.7 in across with midi beads. A bare domain of up to 14 characters fits version 1 (21×21), which leaves room for the full 4-bead border on the same board. Longer text needs a bigger version — 29, 33, 37… modules, 4 more per version — so keep the link short; a link shortener is the easy way to stay on one board.

Use high-contrast colors — black on white is best. Dark on light works, but never reverse it: a light code on a dark background fails on many phone cameras. Iron evenly on both sides so the surface stays flat, and scan the code before you iron it — once the beads are fused, a wrong module is hard to fix.

Hama, Artkal and mini beads

The grid works for any 5 mm fuse bead brand — Hama, Artkal, and generic melty beads sit on the same lattice as Perler. The colors are listed by Perler's own names because that is how the bags are labelled, so with another brand match by eye against the swatch. Switch the bead size to mini or biggie to see how the finished size changes.
