Design Notes: 14×10 Dynamic Pose

This 14×10 grid (140 beads) uses 4 colors. The horizontal aspect ratio (wider than tall) captures the dolphin mid-leap — the curved body, dorsal fin, and tail fluke are all visible. Blue for the body, light blue for the water splash, white for the belly, and gray for the dorsal fin. This is one of the few patterns designed in landscape orientation, making it perfect for a shelf display or ocean-themed room decor.

How to Make This Pattern — Step by Step

Supplies

•14x10 Fuse Bead Pegboard
•Ironing Paper
•Household Iron
•Blue × 60
•Light Blue × 40
•White × 25

1
Place beads on a 14x10 pegboard according to the pattern grid.
2
Cover the design with ironing paper.
3
Iron on medium heat for 30-60 seconds with circular motions.
4
Flip and iron the other side.
5
Let cool under a heavy book.

Ironing Tips

💡Medium heat only — too hot and the beads over-melt and lose shape; too cool and they won't fuse.
💡Keep the iron moving in slow circles — staying in one spot melts that area flat.
💡Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.

FAQ

How do I display the dolphin pattern?▼

Because it's landscape (14×10), the dolphin looks best on a shelf or as part of a beach/ocean-themed wall display. Pair it with the Coral Reef Lagoon (128×128) or the Penguin for a complete aquatic collection.
