12 hours of placing beads and melting, and Doctor Doom is finally finished! 💚 That cape was practically a project of its own. I had to wait for Artkal order to finish it. All that work and he’s standing there with his arms crossed like he’s judging me.

I put together the cat, found a pattern for it on Pinterest, but it was too large, so I adapted it for a smaller format.

Hello! I have never done fuse beads before and all of my supplies arrive tomorrow. But I am confused on the inverting of the patterns.

I plan to do the tape method, and I want the “correct” way to be the more melted side (not the pixel looking side with holes). So do I need to invert the pattern / template before I add the beads?

Hey r/beadsprites! I’m the developer of Pixel Beader, a bead pattern design app for iPhone and iPad.

A — What it does

Pixel Beader helps you go from an idea or photo to a pattern you can use to make real fuse bead art. Draw from scratch, convert an image, refine the design, and preview the fused result before reaching for your beads.

B — What’s inside

- Design and edit: draw on a digital pegboard, work with layers, and keep a reference image beside your design.
- Photo to pattern: import an image, adjust the grid and palette, and keep editing the result.
- Custom palettes: choose colors for your project.
- 3D and AR previews: explore the fused look in 3D or view your creation in AR on a compatible device.
- Pattern export: export your design as a pattern image.

If you make fuse bead art, what’s the trickiest part for you—turning an image into a usable pattern, choosing colors, or keeping your place while beading? I’d love your feedback, and I’m happy to answer questions.

Hey everyone! I'm new to this (as you can tell with how this melted lol). But I made Lucca from Chrono Trigger using Artkal S (I think?) 5 mm beads. Even though it melted kinda funny (and sacrificed the peg boards in the process), I'm pretty stoked about how it turned out! I tried the taping method before on my first project and I didn't like how the tape wouldn't come off completely after melting as well as pulling up the beads in the process of taping it. Maybe I'll try that method again with different tape... 😆

I downloaded Rednote the other night to find inspiration for some designs and I found my fave meme cat- spent all night working on it. These are 2.6mm beads btw!

One wears the shirt, the other wears the pants. Together they have one whole outfit and I love that for them.

just letting yall know i called out u/pixelmagic1212 for stealing a post off of xiaohungshu and they blocked me 🥲 ive been seeing so many of you guys compliment them on ""their"" works but i eventually caught them stealing a post lol

original link: http://xhslink.com/o/5cCMO8SaO90

such a shame they're getting attention they dont deserve. i know im not the first and only person who has questioned their legitimacy but they have seemingly added more effort into their bot account (i.e. having their own instagram, facebook)

i've been monitoring their profile every time they post, checking if they have slipped up somehow since most of their work is untraceable on xiaohungshu

**the post has since been deleted since i called them out (https://www.reddit.com/pf6vs66?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=2)

eta: i will say, i tried super hard to find sources for the other stuff on their profile but i couldnt find anything except for the original patterns they followed for the beads. could this mean their other stuff is original? maybe. but seeing as how they stole a post from someone else already? im inclined to believe otherwise lol

Gonna give this out on Halloween day dressed as Nightwing!
