How to make the Real Pumpkin Photo to Perler Beads

Use this 40 x 40 grid as a practical starting point for the Real Pumpkin Photo to Perler Beads. The finished design uses about 591 beads before any transparent background cells are removed, so check the color list after customizing the image.

Materials you need

5 mm fuse beads in the listed colors
A pegboard large enough for the recommended grid
Tweezers or a bead pen
Ironing paper and a household iron

Build and fuse the pattern

1
Review the grid
Open the full pattern and compare the color IDs with the bead colors you have available.
2
Place the beads
Work one row or color group at a time, checking the outline frequently so small details stay aligned.
3
Fuse the design
Cover the finished grid with ironing paper and use gentle circular passes until the bead holes begin to close evenly.
4
Cool and finish
Let the piece cool under a flat, heat-safe weight before removing it from the pegboard or adding a magnet, loop, or stand.

Pattern-specific tip

Keep the darkest outline colors separate while sorting. They define the silhouette and make the design readable from a distance. Pumpkin orange and tangerine preserve the bright body
