How to build it
Making your first fuse bead design? The beginner pattern guide walks through reading a chart and placing each row.
- Print the PDF at 100% (Actual Size) with Fit to Page turned off. Check its 50 mm ruler before using the 5 mm grid.
- Place the black center column first. Add each pink wing row in matching left and right groups, then check the yellow patches against the numbered chart.
- Check the color totals and outline before ironing. Every numbered cell takes one bead; leave blank cells empty.
- Have an adult fuse the beads using ironing paper and the bead manufacturer’s instructions. Let the design cool before lifting it.

You can swap colors in the editor. That changes your own copy; the downloaded original PDF stays the same. To start with your own photo or drawing, use the Perler bead pattern maker.
