The first maker with a real pony bead palette
Most pony bead tools hand you a generic on-screen color picker, so the chart calls for colors no bag actually contains. BeadFuse matches your photo to The Beadery's real pony bead range — the 9×6mm barrel beads sold in nearly every US craft store — with each color's official 3-digit code (052 Black, 073 White, 067 Red…), so the chart names beads you can actually buy.
Pony beads are bigger than fuse beads, so patterns read best at smaller grids: a 24-bead width already makes a bold wall-hanging or bag charm. Set your width, merge near-duplicate shades, and print the chart with per-color counts.

Built for pony bead projects
Official Beadery color codes
Every color in the chart carries The Beadery's official 3-digit code — the same codes printed on bead bags — so shopping is a checklist, not a guess.
Finish-aware palette
The palette marks transparent, glow, and sparkle finishes so you know which colors read differently in the light.
Exact bead counts
Per-color totals sorted by usage. Pony beads come ~500 to a bag — the count tells you instantly if one bag is enough.
Color merge slider
Collapse near-duplicate shades so a 3-bead color doesn't send you hunting for a whole extra bag.
Use only your colors
Tap out colors you don't own and the pattern re-matches to your actual stash.
Runs in your browser
Your photo never leaves your device. Conversion is local, instant, and free.
Pony bead pattern questions
What size are pony beads?
Standard pony beads are 9×6mm plastic barrel beads — about three times the size of 5mm fuse beads. That's why pony bead patterns work best at smaller grid sizes: a 20–30 bead width is already a substantial project.
Which pony bead colors does it use?
The Beadery's 750V range — 39 real colors including opaque, transparent, glow, and sparkle finishes, each with its official 3-digit color code. The Beadery makes the pony beads sold in most US craft stores, so the chart matches what's on the shelf.
Can I use this for kandi cuffs?
Yes — the chart lays out straight rows that work for ladder-stitch cuffs and flat panels. There's also a dedicated kandi pattern maker with the same real-color matching.
Is it really free?
Yes. Converting a photo, matching colors, and printing the chart are free with no account and no watermark. Your photo never leaves your browser.
