WHY

Why these are good for beginners

Beginners usually get stuck on too many colors, too dense a grid, or unclear color codes. These are all 34×40, ~10 colors, with a dark outline around each block, so it’s easy to see which cell gets which color — and easy to spot a mistake. Finish one, feel great, then level up.

HOW

Finish your first in 3 steps

① Hit “Make chart →” for a color-coded grid; ② place beads on the pegboard one by one (do one color at a time); ③ cover with ironing paper and iron on medium to set. Want it even simpler? Turn “max colors” down in the maker.

NEXT

Once you’re comfortable

Size up “beads wide” for bigger, sharper pieces, or upload your own photo / avatar for a custom chart. For a person or pet, run it through AI cartoon first. More designs in the gallery.
