Ironing beads are small, cylindrical and made of plastic. They are also called Hama beads and are fused together using heat with an iron. They are available in different colors, including transparent or with glitter, and in three sizes: mini, midi and maxi. This results in beautiful images based on the grid principle, or pixel images.
