Good Value, Buy Black and Orange
I sorted them into 2 jewelery organizers from a craft store (lobby) as pictured, but we purchased extra black and an actual orange (the kit doesn’t include opaque orange) which are included in the photo. There isn’t enough black that comes in the mix since most patterns need black. We got a random tiny amount of other colors including rust, cranberry and dark grey which we wanted more of so we bought separately.There were slightly more than will fit in the organizers of dark green, light brown, kiwi lime, cheddar, red, and parrot green so I placed the extras in ziplock snack bags. We have completed a few projects and found we are lacking in some neutral colors to make some Minecraft and Pokémon patterns, but overall you can easily work with what’s provided in the kit.Overall it was a great value and I didn’t mind sorting it.

I absolutely LOVE having my kids spill this all over the table, onto the chairs and all over my floor. I am in LOVE with the pinging sound it makes in the vacuum cleaner as I go over them. And, it's so fun to watch my puppies and kitties chase them across the floor and see them in the litter box or in their 'bathroom' duties. Talk about some colorful poo!

Okay - that was total sarcasm. My kids are totally into making bead craft projects. They make me magnets for my filing cabinet at work, my fridge, their lockers - it's become a lot of fun for our entire family to sit down and create characters or whatever. We made Angry Bird Christmas ornaments one year and decorated our tree in Angry Birds (not really Christmas-y, but it was a fun family project). My kids make their Valentine Cards with these - just a lot of fun. So, yes, they're a pain to clean up when they are dumped everywhere (by accident, of course), but it's worth it. This was a great Christmas gift for them...

However, I was so outdone. I bought them this 22,000 count bead jar. My parents bought them another 750,000 in individual colors or buckets that are 'themes'.

Great price and in the area I live in, these are hard to find. Wal-Mart carries their version of 'melty-beads' and I'm sorry - they are not the original Perler Beads. These melt like they should and hold up like they should. Very happy with them!

I bought this for a family activity project and the container has lots of colors to choose from and enough color distribution so you don't feel like you are running out of that color. I would suggest that the company itself would have a color chart so if you want to order more of that specific color you would know the color code. It's a great gift idea and a fun activity for most ages.

There's a great variety of colors in this jar. Officially there are 30, but I got a small amount of 3 other colors too. Since it was difficult for me to find a consistent list of the specific color names through these reviews, I thought I would add one.

Love the huge variety of colors in this assortment. For quantity, variety and quality it can’t be beat. As noted by other reviewers it can be inconvenient to hunt through and find specific colors or an investment of time to sort them, but you know what you’re signing up for. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five, is that the color Perler calls “clear” is more like “cloudy clear.” I had a specific project in mind that will require clear beads more like clear glass, not cloudy glass, which would now require another purchase.

These beads are used almost daily by my daughter. She can play by herself or with supervision and help, and keeps her entertained for a long time. Make sure to get the plastic molds, but this comes with the parchment paper.

Reviewed in Canada on March 25, 2019

By far the most economical and fun project I’ve come across. Compared to other brands as well as individual bags, the 22000 assorted jar is the cheapest option for the best price, at $0.0015 per bead compared to the average 1000 single Color bag at $0.007 per bead based on current prices of $34.00 for 22000 jar and $7.00 for single bag of white beads - both by Perler. Also more economical than the Artkal 22000 jar that comes to $0.0029 per bead. I was able to sit down for a weekend in my spare time and sort about half of the assorted 22000 beads. It is tedious, but if you enjoy handy crafts you will likely enjoy sorting them, and it is well worth the wait when you finally get results. When factoring in sorting time, it is debatable if time will cost you money, if looking to sell your craft items, as the time it takes to sort the beads definitely cuts into time used to make crafts. Sorting beads is a long process, but I found what worked best for myself was putting one Color into a container of some sort (I used the smallest measuring tool I could find) and then dumping the beads into the storage container. This way I wasn’t wasting time picking up single beads and going back and forth or having to pool them into the palm of my hand which became painful over time just from the position of my hand. As my first project, I tested making the iconic PokeBall in a variety of styles. Using the mini Perler tweezers came in very handy even using with the 5mm beads. The peg boards were bought separately - I suggest looking for good deals as many come in packs of 2-4 for $15. You start by using your tweezers and picking up and placing beads one by one onto the board to create your design. It is fairly fast once you get used to the motions, and I rarely had issues picking up the beads. Sometimes for those stubborn ones I just used my hands or I had to fidget for awhile before it got into place - not a dealbreaker at all, just apart of the craft. When I finished my design I used the masking tape method (I’ve read not to use Scotch tape as it will melt and make a mess) to transfer my beads. You take pieces of masking tape and slightly overlap them until your piece is entirely covered. Make sure to make the pieces of tape slightly larger than your design and stick the edges of the first piece of tape to the board, as this will prevent the tape from curling up and taking your beads off of the pegboard prematurely (I was unaware of this so the first time I tried the tape method I had to place my beads down again on the board to realign them). Optionally you can pierce holes through the tape to help the air escape when ironing (I did not do this for my first project but I will next time and see if it makes a difference). Be sure to press the tape firmly on the beads - especially on the outer layer - as you don’t want your beads to unstick from the tape yet. Once pressed you should be able to easily lift your project off of your pegboard. The tape method also helps prevent melting your board overtime as with the tape method you don’t have to iron over your board. Face the tape face down on a flat surface (preferably one that is heat safe) and get some parchment paper and put it over your design (for this project I just used the iron paper that came with the beads but the creases in it could potentially leave crease lines on your design so be wary). For my iron, I am using the Cricut Heat Press 2, with the settings at 275 degrees Fehrenheit and 20sec. If you use a standard iron, don’t use water. When ready, put your iron on the parchment paper and heat away. Always move your iron in circular motions or keep the design where the heat is concentrated most. Apply minimal pressure. I check my design after 20secs to see if the beads have melted / fused yet. If not, I go back for another 20secs but apply minimal to no no pressure. When visibly fused (beads will look slightly squished and flatter) check to see if there are any loose beads. If so, iron again. If no loose beads, take a heavy flat object like a textbook and immediately place over design and wait about 30secs to a minute to cool. When cooled enough, take the tape off by gently peeling it off. When done, iron the side the tape was on with minimal pressure. This is to ensure beads are fused together enough that they won’t fall apart. Overall, ironing will take practice, patience, attention and trial and error. See what setting you like best, what the end design you like, and so on. If you over iron, your design will look like a marshmallow. If you apply too much pressure, your design will not have an even width and it will look like the beads are a candle that has candle wax overflowing. Be sure to have fun with it, And I hope this helped! Also here are the colours so far that I’ve found in my jar: 1. Red 2. Hot coral 3. Blush 4. Pink 5. Crabapple 6. Plum 7. Lavender 8.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Economical Choice, Good Quality
Reviewed in Canada on March 25, 2019
By far the most economical and fun project I’ve come across. Compared to other brands as well as individual bags, the 22000 assorted jar is the cheapest option for the best price, at $0.0015 per bead compared to the average 1000 single Color bag at $0.007 per bead based on current prices of $34.00 for 22000 jar and $7.00 for single bag of white beads - both by Perler. Also more economical than the Artkal 22000 jar that comes to $0.0029 per bead. I was able to sit down for a weekend in my spare time and sort about half of the assorted 22000 beads. It is tedious, but if you enjoy handy crafts you will likely enjoy sorting them, and it is well worth the wait when you finally get results. When factoring in sorting time, it is debatable if time will cost you money, if looking to sell your craft items, as the time it takes to sort the beads definitely cuts into time used to make crafts. Sorting beads is a long process, but I found what worked best for myself was putting one Color into a container of some sort (I used the smallest measuring tool I could find) and then dumping the beads into the storage container. This way I wasn’t wasting time picking up single beads and going back and forth or having to pool them into the palm of my hand which became painful over time just from the position of my hand. As my first project, I tested making the iconic PokeBall in a variety of styles. Using the mini Perler tweezers came in very handy even using with the 5mm beads.
