Finished size assumes standard 5 mm midi beads; ironing shrinks it a little. Time is a rough estimate at ~12–20 beads/min.

Before you start

  • 1 floating bead sit on their own with no neighbors — dab a little glue before ironing so they don't pop off.
  • 1 single-bead detail (one bead wide) — the most fragile spots. Use tweezers and iron gently on that side.
  • 4 colorsare used for fewer than 5 beads each. Drop the color-merge slider in the editor if you'd rather not open a whole bag for a few beads.
  • Works with:Perler, Hama, Artkal, or any 5 mm fuse beads (chart uses Perler color names).
