Balloon bead pattern

A Light Blue balloon with a Toothpaste highlight, a Dark Blue knot and a short Grey string, in 78 beads.

A light blue balloon with a small pale highlight, a dark blue knot and a short grey string as a fuse-bead pattern on a pegboard grid.

Almost the whole chart is Light Blue, so sort that color first. The two Toothpaste beads sit near the upper left to suggest a shine, and the Dark Blue knot and two Grey string beads hang from the bottom point. The string is single beads in a column, which is the most fragile part of this design, so handle it gently or leave it off if you want a sturdier keychain. The top-centre bead is the one to thread a ring through.

How to make it

  1. Set your board width to 9 beads and place the colors above by counting the grid.
  2. Prefer to tweak it? Open the maker, recreate or import the shape, and change colors, size or details — it recounts the beads live.
  3. Fuse with parchment and a warm iron per your bead brand’s instructions, and let it cool flat.
