Point KandiCon at a photo and it works out the beads. It matches every part of the picture to a real pony bead color you can actually buy, then gives you a chart, a count of how many of each color you need, and the rows to follow while you string. Pick Simple for a 3-color charm, or Intricate for a 39-wide, 12-color cuff panel. MAKE - Photo to pattern, with an option to cut out the background so you bead the subject and not the couch - Any emoji, turned into a chart - Name and word bracelets in your own colors - A blank grid with paint, fill, eraser and undo, for when you would rather draw it yourself - Set the size in inches and it works out the bead count BEFORE YOU START - A shopping list totaled by color, so you know what to buy - Mark the colors you already own and design only from those - Spin the cuff preview, or hold your phone up and see the piece on your wrist.
