New: the bead studio Every coloring page comes with a bead pattern in three board sizes, 29Γ29, 50Γ50, and 70Γ70, made for standard 5 mm fuse beads. Follow the pattern bead by bead on the pegboard, or recolor it cell by cell in free edit. Then check the bead list to see which colors you need and how many, and export the pattern as PNG or PDF.
