How to make the Orange Tabby Cat Photo Perler Bead Pattern

Use this 30 x 30 grid as a practical starting point for the Orange Tabby Cat Photo Perler Bead Pattern. The finished design uses about 690 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. 1

    Review the grid

    Open the full pattern and compare the color IDs with the bead colors you have available.

  2. 2

    Place the beads

    Work one row or color group at a time, checking the outline frequently so small details stay aligned.

  3. 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. 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. Cream and white preserve the muzzle and center blaze
