A snowman brings together a few colors into an instantly recognizable winter character: two white stacked snowballs, a black top hat, a little orange carrot nose, a red scarf, and coal buttons and eyes. It uses more beads than a single-color shape, so it is a nice step up once the basics feel easy.

What you need for this bead pattern
- 219 midi (5 mm) fuse beads in the 5 colors listed above. Perler beads are sold as midi beads.
- A square pegboard of at least 21×24 pegs; a large square board has 29×29 pegs.
- Ironing paper and a household iron. An adult should do the fusing.
How to build the snowman bead pattern
- Use a square pegboard with space for 21×24 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 ironing paper and an iron, as in our step-by-step Perler ironing guide, and let it cool flat under a book.
