FAQ

Are the patterns really free?

Yes, all of them, with no sign-up. Feel free to use them for things you make for yourself.

Can I print the patterns?

Each pattern page has a printable PDF with the color codes and bead counts.

Do they work with Perler or Hama beads?

Yes. They are grid patterns, so 5 mm Perler or Hama beads work as they are; the piece comes out about twice as big. Each pattern page also lists the closest Perler and Hama colors with counts.

Which patterns are small or easy?

See the “Small (up to 16 beads)” and “Easy” collections. Some, like the 7-bead mini heart, take just a few minutes.

Which brand are the color codes?

They match MARD 2.6 mm beads. For other brands, find the closest colors in our color chart.

Can I buy the beads for a pattern?

On each pattern page, “Beads for this pattern” puts the colors it uses in your cart as single-color packs (about 1,000 beads each); 20 packs are ¥2,280.

Can I turn my own photo into a pattern?

Yes: load a photo or drawing into the Pattern Maker to make a free pattern with bead counts.

Do you add new patterns?

Yes, every week, mostly seasonal ones. You can get an email when new ones come out.
