The most popular Halloween fuse bead designs, ranked by search volume: Jack-o'-lanterns (pumpkins): The #1 Halloween pattern. Orange body, black carved face, green stem.

Detailed designs for intermediate crafters. Skeletons: White bone shapes on black background. Skull and crossbones, dancing skeleton, rib cage. More intricate patterns. Spiders and webs: Black spider (8 legs), white web on black background, or spider on web. Great for magnets and window decorations. Haunted houses: Dark silhouette with glowing yellow/orange windows. The most complex Halloween pattern — usually 20×20 or larger. Candy icons: Candy corn (3-color triangle), lollipop, wrapped candy. Perfect for treat bag decorations.

Halloween has a distinctive color palette. Stock up on these bead colors: Core Halloween colors: Orange (#FF6600), Black (#000000), Purple (#660099), Dark Green (#006600), White (#FFFFFF). These five cover 90% of Halloween patterns. Accent colors: Lime green (#99FF00) for witch potion glow, Yellow (#FFCC00) for jack-o'-lantern candle light, Dark Red (#990000) for blood/vampire themes, Gray (#999999) for tombstones.

Optional Pink (#FFCCCC) for rosy cheeks on a 'friendly ghost' variant. Buy a Halloween bead assortment: most brands sell pre-sorted holiday color packs ($8-12 for 5,000 beads in 8 Halloween colors). Cheaper and more convenient than buying individual colors.
