Turn your photo into a bead picture you can build one bead at a time! Bead crafts are simple: put lots of tiny colorful beads on a board, iron them, and they stick together into something you made yourself. But which color goes where? That's the tricky part. PureBeads figures it out for you! HOW TO PLAY — JUST SIX STEPS 1. Pick a photo: one you took, drew or downloaded. 2. Crop it and zoom in or out. Want the background to disappear and keep only the star of the picture? You can do that too. 3. Choose how many beads wide to make it: more beads means more detail, fewer beads means you finish sooner. 4. See how it will look right away, and how big it will be when it's done. 5. Tap once to make your MANUAL: where every cell is and which color code every bead is. It's all written down. 6. Print it, or keep it on a tablet, and follow along!
