How to Use a Pixel Bead Pattern

Print or display your guide at comfortable size. Align the peg board so row 1 matches the top of the pattern. If the design spans multiple boards, tape boards together or build in labeled sections.

• Enable Coordinates in the app if you count rows aloud while building.
• Ironing paper and iron within reach before you fill the last row.
• Tweezers help on dense color changes.

Two common strategies: fill one color across the whole board before switching, or complete one region (face, border, text) at a time. Color-by-color minimizes jar swaps; area-by-area helps you see the image form faster.

Physical builds pause; digital projects should too. Save in the app so edits and counts stay current. Take a photo of the peg board before moving it — beads can knock loose if the board is bumped.

Compare the filled board to the pattern with Bead codes visible in the app. Fix misplaced IDs before ironing — fused beads are permanent. Check edges and single-bead specks; run Apply cleanup in the converter if you notice them digitally first.

• Missing pegs show as empty holes — fill them before heat.
• Wrong ID in one cell stands out when you squint at the grid.
• Iron evenly with parchment or ironing paper; do not rush the first fuse.
