How it works
Add an image or a word
Upload a picture, or make a word on the bead letters page and open it here.
Set the cuff size
Width is the number of beads in a row. Most cuffs are 30 to 60 beads around and 7 to 15 rows deep.
Keep the colours few
Pony beads come in fewer shades than fuse beads, so a handful of bold colours reads best.
String row by row
The PDF lists every row as runs of colour, so you can count beads onto the string without reading the grid.

Frequently asked questions
Which kandi stitch is this for?
The grid lines up in straight rows, which suits ladder (standard) cuffs and single rows. For X-base or peyote cuffs, where rows are offset, use the peyote pattern maker.
Why are the colours named, not coded?
Pony bead brands do not share colour codes, and mixed packs are sold by colour name. Pick the closest bead you have.
Can I use Perler colours?
Yes. Switch the palette to a fuse bead brand if you want to match a specific bead range.
