Mature Luke Skywalker Perler Pixel Pattern

The big question on everybody’s mind when The Force Awakens movie posters came out was: Where is Luke? Well, we now know there was a reason he was missing from the posters (BTW, brilliant marketing guys!), and just like the movie, we have been saving Luke for the very, very end. Today is the last of our The Force Awakens pixel pattern series.

Starting next week, we are going to back to featuring brand new (already completed) patterns from the Original and Prequel movies as well as the TV series Clone Wars. We have a Rebels series in the works (and #1 is really pushing to make them soon!). By request, we are also making more ships and vehicles. That should keep us plenty busy until we tackle Rogue One in the fall.

If there is something specific from Star Wars you want us to feature, let me know, and I’ll try to work it into the schedule.

I should also mention that I also do commissions. If there is something/someone special you want a pattern or a finished piece of, contact me and we’ll talk!

Now, here, finally, is old Luke – the 19th, and last of our The Force Awakens patterns, and #48 in the Perler bead/cross stitch/crochet/knitting/Lego/pixel/mosaic pattern series.

If you are looking for A New Hope Luke pattern, you can find that here.

NOTE: We spent A LOT of time making these designs, and are absolutely thrilled to see that they are becoming so popular, but we want to remind you that we should get credit when they are used. So, if you show your work using our designs anywhere (online as well), put a “Pattern © Anette Nam Design” and link to “Maythefourthbewithyouparty.com” somewhere close by. THANK YOU! … and as always, you may not sell any products made with these patterns.

Needed if you make Perler Bead Coasters:

Perler Beads
Tweezers (optional)
Perler Clear Pegboards
Removable Tape
Printout of Pattern (download above image)
Iron
Baking Parchment Paper (Perler Ironing Paper)
Heavy Object with Flat Bottom
Cork sheets with Adhesive Backs
Scissors or X-acto Knife
Glass
Bantha Milk (optional)

How To:

Download and print out the pattern provided (mirror it, if you only plan on ironing on only 1 side).
Cut out, then tape pattern to the back of the Perler Pegboard so the dots line up with the pegs.
Add the Perler beads (tweezers are pretty handy if you don’t have a 6 yr old’s tiny fingers).
Carefully move pegboard to ironing board, place parchment (or Perler ironing paper) on top.
Iron until the beads start melting together (If you have never done this before, it might take some practice to get it “just right”).
Let cool for a bit, remove from Perler Pegboard and remove paper.
Optional: turn over, cover with parchment paper and iron on other side. (put something solid and heatproof underneath to make ironing easier)
If you only iron on 1 side, place it under something flat and heavy while it cools, to avoid curving.
Cut cork about 1/4” smaller than the square, affix to the back.
Don’t forget the Bantha milk. Enjoy!

Tips:

Usually people iron on both sides of the Perler bead design, but I prefer to only do the back. The designs look crisper and more “pixely”. With the cork on the back, I have not had any problems with the coasters falling apart, but feel free to iron yours on both sides.

Note, if you only plan on iron on only 1 side, you need to mirror the pattern.

Also, the coasters are pretty hard to clean, so try not to get anything too gunky in there.
