The classic Poké Ball. Great for beginners! 10x10 pattern with 4 colors.
Materials Needed
100 beads total · 4 colorsBackground: The Poké Ball
The Poké Ball is the iconic catching device in the Pokémon universe, used to capture and store wild Pokémon. Its design — a red top half, white bottom half, and black band with a central button — is one of the most recognizable symbols in gaming. Within the lore, Poké Balls were originally crafted from Apricorns by Kurt in Azalea Town before mass production. The basic red-and-white Poké Ball has a catch rate of ×1 for most Pokémon, with upgraded versions like Great Ball (×1.5), Ultra Ball (×2), and Master Ball (×255) introduced progressively.
Design Notes: 10×10 Pixel Composition
This 10×10 grid (100 beads) is one of the simplest character patterns available. Red fills the top half, white fills the bottom half, black creates the dividing band, and a small gray dot forms the central button. The perfect circular shape is achieved through stair-stepped pixel curves. At only 4 colors and easy difficulty, this is the ideal very-first fuse bead project — recognizable, fast, and satisfying.

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.
