Free Fuse Bead Patterns

🎨🔹 Small

Small fuse bead patterns — compact 10×10 and under designs you can finish in one sitting. Perfect for keychains, magnets, and quick gifts.

Why start with small patterns?

Small patterns are the fastest way to build confidence. At 10×10 or smaller (under ~100 beads), most finish in 10-20 minutes, need only 2-5 colors, and fit on a single mini pegboard. They're ideal for beginners, kids' activities, party crafts, and batch-making keychains or magnets. (Fuse beads are also known as Perler beads, Hama beads, or melty beads — same craft, different brand names.)
