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.
- Start with the three brown beads at the top of the cap. Widen each brown row by one bead on each side until the cap spans nine pegs. Place two full yellow rows directly below the cap, then shorten each remaining row by one bead on each side. Finish with one yellow bead at the tip and leave the surrounding pegs empty.
- 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.
