How to build the banana perler bead pattern
Start at the Brown stem at the upper right and follow the Yellow curve down to the left tip. Place the Pastel Yellow highlight along the inner curve and the Honey beads along the bottom edge, keeping the open space above the curve empty.
For the placement tips below, count rows from the top and columns from the left of the full 25×25 preview board, including its empty margin. Start at 1.
- Anchor the Brown stem with 5 beads in rows 3–4, columns 20–22; the separate lower-left tip uses 4 Brown beads in rows 16–18, columns 4–5.
- Add the 14 Honey beads only along the bottom curve, in rows 19–22. The last row has 2 Honey beads; do not extend the shading into the open inner curve.
- Use a square pegboard with space for 20×20 beads and place the colors above by counting the grid. Leave empty cells empty; the decorative margin is not part of the design.
- Check the color changes and empty spaces against the full chart before fusing.
- Fuse with parchment and a warm iron per your bead brand’s instructions, and let it cool flat.
