Free iron bead patterns and printable grid workflow

Use the pattern maker as a free grid

Open the Perler bead pattern maker, choose a grid size, and start from a blank grid or upload a simple image. The exported PNG works as a printable draft for iron bead projects.

Pick subjects that read clearly

アイロンビーズ patterns work best with flat shapes: animals, food, flags, game icons, letters, flowers, and simple characters. Avoid photos with tiny details unless you use a larger grid.

Keep the first pattern easy

For beginner projects, choose 16x16 or 24x24. A smaller chart is easier to sort, place, and iron without losing the shape.

Check colors before ironing

Screen colors are only planning references. Before a large project, compare the chart with your real iron beads and swap colors that look too close.
