Pattern tips: Nano Beads (2.6mm)

The color codes are for the 2.6mm beads mamepix sells (MARD). With nanobeads, pick the closest colors from a color chart.
Each bead is about half as wide as a 5mm bead, so tweezers make placing easier.
Small beads heat up quickly. Iron briefly and add a little at a time.

FAQ

How big are nanobeads?

Kawada's product page gives 2.6mm across and 2.8mm high, about a quarter the size of Perler beads. That is about the same as 2.6mm mini beads.

Can I use regular fuse bead patterns with nanobeads?

Yes. A grid pattern works with any bead size. The piece comes out about half as wide and tall as with 5mm beads; a 29-bead pattern is about 7.5cm.

How do I iron nanobeads?

Lay ironing paper over the beads and iron without steam, at the temperature on the package. Small beads melt faster than 5mm beads, so start short and stop when the holes shrink a little.
