Medium • 46x52 • 1031 beads
Shiba Inu Puppy
A perky Shiba Inu puppy as a 46×52 perler bead pattern — 1,024 beads in 12 colors. A medium-difficulty dog chart for fuse-bead crafters who love the curled-tail Shiba look.
Medium • 28x43 • 651 beads
Scooter Dude
A cool guy riding a scooter — Scooter Dude — as a tall 28×43 perler bead pattern with 651 beads in 9 colors. A playful character chart for a quick, on-trend fuse-bead project.
Easy • 28x53 • 932 beads
Paws-Up Gray Cat
A gray cartoon cat leaning back with both front paws thrown up in the air, googly eyes askew, a white chest and white paw tips, and its tail looped across its middle. 28x53 pegs and 932 beads in just 3 colors — black outline, one gray, one white — so there is no color sorting to do at all and the whole chart reads as line art. A good first tall chart.
Easy • 25x21 • 408 beads
Catnap on a Clementine
A sleepy black cat curled on a bright clementine cushion, charted as a compact 25x21 perler bead pattern with 7 colors and warm orange contrast.
Hard • 61x104 • 3984 beads
Blue Beret Teddy Girl
A full-length girl with short black hair under a bright blue beret, a fluffy brown stole over a white collared shirt, and a pleated blue skirt — holding a brown teddy bear in a matching little cap. 61x104 pegs and 3799 beads in 21 colors. Three blues carry the beret, the skirt and the bear's cap, and four browns carry the bear and the boots — keep each group apart or both flatten out. Tall enough to need several pegboards; plan the seams before the first bead.
Hard • 44x49 • 1633 beads
Honey Bob Girl
A girl with a honey-blonde bob and a blunt fringe, in a white puff-sleeve top with gray fabric folds. 44x49 pegs and 1633 beads in 17 colors. The head fills most of the chart but the features do not: the eyes, blush and mouth are a handful of beads each, and they have to land exactly where the chart puts them — that detail work, not the size, is what makes it hard.
Medium • 59x66 • 2881 beads
Black Ribbon Girl
A long-haired girl turning to look back, a black ribbon tied at her temple and a black top against warm blonde hair. 59x66 pegs and 2881 beads across a multi-board layout. The 18 colors crowd into the beige-and-rose range, so separate the skin, hair and shadow tones into labeled cups before the first bead goes down. Large enough to frame rather than hang on a keyring.
Medium • 52x52 • 1603 beads
Chibi Zhuge Liang
Zhuge Liang, the Three Kingdoms strategist, in chibi form — white scholar's robe, a small white cap, and the feather fan raised beside his head. 52x52 pegs and 1603 beads in 9 colors, mostly white and light gray, with black doing the outlines and the robe folds. Build the fan and the hat first; they set the width of everything below.
Easy • 21x26 • 439 beads
Corgi with Cocoa Cup
A corgi puppy hugging a bright red cup, with a blue tear of joy and a warm orange coat. 21x26 pegs and 439 beads across 11 colors on a single board.
Medium • 24x34 • 620 beads
Laughing Carrot Rabbit
A gleeful white rabbit with tall pink ears, a wide red smile, and a little orange carrot.
Hard • 53x50 • 2488 beads
Bunny Clip Girl Portrait
A laughing brown-haired girl wearing white bunny hair clips with yellow bows, framed above a red outfit.
