How to make the butterfly

Sort your beads

Count out the beads per color from the table. The most used color here is 80-19018 Black with 90 beads.

Fill the pegboard

Work row by row from the top. The whole pattern fits on one large square pegboard (29 × 29).

Iron it

Cover the beads with ironing paper and iron on medium heat in slow circles until they fuse. Let it cool under a heavy book so it stays flat.

Try it as a magnet, a hair clip decoration or a spring window hanging. Make several in different colors for a garland.
