Wouldn’t that be the best idea ever? We need that iron in our lives!! Thanks for checking out the video!

I agree! That would be 🆒! What a great idea. Maybe there is somebody out there that has tried that before. 🤔

Oh yes I've had this thought too! I primarily make/made video game sprites and I definitely agree, square beads would look so much better!

Thanks so much! That would be an excellent video topic. I definitely have some ideas on it. In the mean time…packing tape will work wonders for keeping beads from scattering all over. Make sure they are in containers (lids work great too) and taped up with packing tape. It helps!

Thanks so much! Yes, Scott really has done an excellent job. The new integrations with Kandi pad are really neat too! Thanks for your comment! - Ryan

(Scott here) Thanks man! We've worked so hard to make the bead shopping experience as simple & easy as possible, and it means so much to hear that you're enjoying it! 😁

Great interview. Interesting to hear all the challenges they overcame (behind the scenes). Glad Scott and Jaz agreed to the interview.

Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, it definitely took hard work on their part, but you know they learned some great lessons! I had a ton of fun talking to them..stay tuned for more! - Ryan

@@DeadShallows Glad this was insightful for you!! 😊We were so pleased to be invited on!

Thanks so much! I appreciate it. Yes, you’re absolutely 💯 correct!✅ Life lessons! Thanks for checking it out and for your kind words! - Ryan

Thank you for your comment and checking out the video. Yes, the bag design is 🔥! I’m glad you got some wonderful insight from this video! I’m going to have to try the holographic film sometime, it looks really cool! 🆒 Stay tuned for Part 2 on Saturday!

Oh definitely give them a try! The effect is so stunning in real life! It's nice that the Rainbow Film gives your art the same shiny finish as the Shiny Ironing Film, so it's kinda like a 2-in-1! And thanks very much for the compliment on our bags, we sure did work hard on them! 👍

Great choices! Thanks for commenting!

Orange and reds are my favorites. Nice video. Keep up the great work.

Aww, thank you so much! It turned great and I’m super happy you got something great out of it!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate it! I really had a fun time talking with them. Stay tuned for part two next week. And yes, as you said, they provide such a great customer experience and an overwhelmingly large amount of colors.🎨 it’s amazing how they fulfill so many orders with so many different color options. Glad you’ve had an awesome experience with them! And thank you so much for your kind words. If you ever have any questions or need help with anything, let me know. 😀👍🏻

I'm thrilled to know that you're enjoying our beads and shopping with us!! 🥰 And thanks for watching our interview!

@@DeadShallows that brings me even more confidence in their brand . So I will definitely order from them. Do they work with perler brand . I know Ryan did a video on that and I want to know if that's still true

@ Yes , they have Perler brand also. I switched to Artkal because of their partnership with color choices. Since theirs are basically from Artkal (as I understand it), I gave their brand a try. Colors matched. Quality is great and shipping is fast. You won’t be sorry ordering from them which ever brand you choose.

Great question. Yes, they are fully compatible! 😃👍🏻

Yep, they have partnered with Artkal with their own branding and their resealable bags are 🔥

@@themetalknight2005 Awesome, looking forward to packin' up your order! 👍And yes, they are fully compatible with Perler beads! I've been using them together for many years.

So wonderful! Welcome to the magical world of fuse-beading! thanks for checking out the video and I’m glad you got some great inside out of it. It’s amazing how creative you can be with beads. TopTierBeads is a wonderful business and stay tuned next week for Part 2 to hear even more about their journey …and they do have many new products in the works. Scott and Jaz are truly encouraging, friendly, and genuine folks! If you’re getting into 3-D perler art..you should check out my video I did on making a 3-D Poké ball.. th-cam.com/video/1S6QsLOdSg0/w-d-xo.html Also check out my other videos and ask me any questions if you run into hang-ups with beading! My email is nostalgicnicknack@gmail.com Have a great day! Happy beading. - Ryan

Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoyed the video stay tuned for part two next week of course. They are fantastic people. Yes that was a great question! It’s amazing how they’re able to fulfill so many orders with so many colors over 500. It’s insane! We do talk about the quality of their beads in the next video so your question should be answered in there. You’re gonna love how quickly your order gets shipped! - Ryan

@nostalgicnicknacks awesome to hear. I can't wait to order from them. I'm going to my first string of a good number of fuze bead art by doing a bunch of Christmas themed art and make ornaments out of them and just thing's you can hang up. Not to sell , just for my family. I also plan to enter a collection of my fuze bead creations into the Washington State Fair next year I'm their hobby section. I saw one creation there this year. I plan to make a stand out peice if I can. And one last thing. I think you should do a video of you creating your own original price that is a medium sized piece. Maybe like 16x16

@themetalknight2005 haha, yes…whew, 16x16 feet would be really big! I can definitely 16x16 inches. I actually made a megaman before i should film. 🎥 Those are awesome goals! I made Christmas ornaments for my family a couple of years ago and they loved it! That’s always a wonderful idea. 💡

Thanks so much for having us on!! We had a really great time. Can't wait for Part 2!

You’re very welcome! It was a blast. 💥

Thanks for your honest opinion! Yes, they’re definitely not for everybody. I appreciate your kind words! The pieces I did took way longer than the regular (midi) counterparts…but it’s something I will come back to. Theres no way I could work with these without tweezers! Again, not for everybody but very interesting to try! - Ryan

Yes, they happen more often without poking holes…but I like to step that process altogether and melt without tape. As long as you have a good heat press, the pegboards don’t warp. Thanks for your comment!

Awesome, I’m glad you came across this video! You’re very welcome. What do you love most about Ghosts n’ Goblins? It’s so insanely hard for me, but I love the sprite work!

Thank you so much! I’m still haunted by the countless spawning monsters! Some would say....traumatized! 😱😱😱

I love the sprite art in all the pixel Castlevania games! 16-bit is most definitely where it's at. Yes, I'll make a video showing how to do more complex sprites soon. Yes, with the more complex sprites...comes more shades and variations so it can get tricky, but I'll definitely have another video at some point with the 16-bit sprites. If you want to share your Simon Belmont, send a picture to nostalgicnicknack@gmail.com and I'll feature it in a future video, if you'd like! Thanks for checking out the series and thank you for your comments! Glad you've enjoyed it. More to come! - Ryan

Thanks man! Yeah, A Link to the Past is such a fun title. I think you'd like it! I'm glad I could kindle some of good 'ol fashioned SNES love. I grew up with the SNES ....so that's my nostslgia. Thanks for checking out the video...and let me know if you have any suggestions for more perler art you want me to in the future. - Ryan

I appreciate you checking out the video! It’s definitely a classic. I'd recommend checking it out ...but man, oh man.. it's pretty difficult! I’m always happy to share my love of pixel art and gaming history...so much fun to learn about the development of these games. I do have an Instagram, but don't post too often. My handle is nostalgicbeadlife, I'd love to see your pixel art! What's your instagram? Check out some of my other videos for more classics! Thanks for your comment! - Ryan

Thanks so much for the tip! I’ve thought about that in a few videos. I’ll definitely incorporate that technique. I’m always looking to improve! Thank you for the feedback and thank you for your kind words. - Ryan

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it and I’m thrilled that you love the videos! I want to keep making them. Stay tuned for more great videos!! Have a great day and thank you again for your AWESOME COMMENT! You made my day. 😀👍🏻 Happy beading! - Ryan

Thanks so much! I really appreciate that. Love the ghostbusters! 🙌🏻 Thanks for being here and checking it out!

Hey, thanks so much for your comment! That’s a great idea. Thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely do a bend test for another video! Yes, a full melt definitely does better for keychains. The open version definitely breaks easier if you really try to break them depends on how long you’re ironing them of course and how fused together the beats are. The brand of the bead also matters a ton. The cheap brands will definitely be more fragile because they are not Made with the same materials. You can have cheaper plastic, of course. I would recommend going with perler beads or toptier beads for some great consistent melting. 🫠 I think I’m going to do a video eventually that compares cheaper beads to the top brands.

Thanks Jimmy! I appreciate it. Love the Ghostbusters! So many awesome pixel classics to pull from. Thanks for checking it out my friend. 😀👍🏻

Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate it. The super-cool thing about stands is that they are unique and provide a great way to display your creations! Especially considering there are so many super expensive figures out there. Instead of buying those expensive ones, why not make your own? I will definitely lean into stands with all of my videos as I am already leaning in that direction. Thanks again for your comments and let me know if you have any suggestions for future videos or franchises you’d like to see featured. 😀👍🏻 Happy beading! - Ryan

Thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful. Yeah, it’s essential to have those heavy books 📚 on hand because it could make or break your project! Multiple books for bigger projects. 👍🏻 Let me know if you have any more questions! Happy beading! - Ryan

Hey! Thanks for the great question. The perler pen supports the midi (regular) sized beads. It does not support the mini (very small ones) because they just fall out. Hope this helps! - Ryan

That’s so much for checking out my channel! Welcome and I’m so happy to have you here. I’m glad you chose a heat press..the perler paper is really great to use but yes, sometimes dark colors can be hard to see. It takes some practice. Let me know if you have any questions! - Ryan

Hey! 👋🏻 Thanks so much for your comment! Great question. I get the sprite/lpixel art from a website called spritersresource.com I then transfer the image file to a bead pattern, I use an app called beaditHD (however it’s no longer downloadable) other great apps are beadscreator or perlpop. I can also email you the image of the patterns I use. If you want to email me at nostalgicnicknack@gmail.com I’ll send those to you! The bead sizes are the perler midi beads. Perler (and other bead companies like TopTierBeads) have two different sizes, midi & mini. Minis are very small..midis are normal sizes. Let me know if you have any more questions! Ryan

Thanks so much! I appreciate it. So many more spooky games to cover and so little time!

Hello! 👋🏻 Great question! I use perler ironing paper. Check out my review video! Is Perler Ironing Paper worth it? #perlerbeadart th-cam.com/video/hJ9K4kEUU6M/w-d-xo.html

He’s such a boss!

You’re very welcome! Glad you found it helpful and informative. Feel free to ask any questions you have. 😎👍🏻 Thanks for watching!

From your video, definitely the Medusa head! All-time, I'm gonna go with Skull Lord from SotN!

Awesome choices! I still need to play SOTN. Thank you TopTierBeads for your comment. Yall are awesome!

Is medusa head is spooky and perfect spite 😅 hi nick

Medusa head is spooky and perfect sprite and hi nick go 1000 subs🎉

@romelycornejo3633 hey! 👋🏻 I agree! Great choice. That Frankenstein is my favorite.

Awesome to hear! I love beading and I know you will too. The 30 x 30 pegboard is the standard size but you can get some kits like these www.amazon.com/dp/B0BG5NMXQH/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_YQX04926QTK5GJFSQZ7P?linkCode=ml2&tag=rdwalk-20 They may offer a slightly different size for you. However if you want to get much smaller, you can go with minis. All of that being said, you can make a small perler on a regular sized board. You could even put four beads down and iron them with no problem on a regular sized board. Hopefully this helps you! Let me know if you have any more questions. Also, if you choose to start beading, don’t forget about my 15% off discount from TopTierBeads and Amazon links for perler bead accessories. Happy beading! - Ryan

@@nostalgicnicknacks Hi What height are your mario character if you don't mind me asking as mine is about 27 or 28 bead spaces tall. I was hoping to get down to about 25.

@MsLostboysforever Mario stands at 22 beads high and 19 beads wide. ✅

@@nostalgicnicknacks ah that explains it mine is way to tall, I will havevyo work out how you shrink these !

Hey! If you send me an email to nostalgicnicknack@gmail.com I will send you my pattern for it. Also if you check out this video below for the beads creator app it will help.. How I Find Sprites and Use Apps for Perler Beading! th-cam.com/video/AaR1pUS4I7o/w-d-xo.html
