BeadChick vs DotBead

Turn a photo into a fuse bead pattern you can actually build. BeadChick converts pets, portraits, characters, and everyday snapshots into clean pixel-style patterns. Choose the subject or use the full photo, then adjust the pattern size, palette, and number of colors to fit your pegboard and the beads you have on hand.
