The green button adds one 1,000-bead bag per colour to your cart, enough to make the pattern with beads to spare. The second button opens our bead calculator with all 13 colours and exact quantities already filled in: check, adjust if needed, then add to cart. One colour is only used for a few beads, F23 (3 beads): for that one, the second button is the more economical choice.
How to make the cat in a pumpkin hat with fuse beads
- Get the grid ready. Print the grid in colour or display it on a tablet next to your 52 × 52 pegboard.
- Prepare your beads and tools. Gather the 13 colours in the pattern (H06, H02, G11, A06, A07, G08, G13, B11, H13, E14, B29, A12, F23), a 52 × 52 pegboard, bent-tip tweezers, ironing paper and an iron.
- Start with the outline in onyx (H06). Place it with bent-tip tweezers, following the grid row by row. It draws the silhouette and guides everything else.
- Fill the large areas. Use light wood (G11), white (H02), light orange (A06), orange coral (A07), dark olive green (B11), yellow green (B29), wine red (G08), sienna (G13) and papaya (H13).
- Add the details. Finish with the small touches: apricot (E14), light salmon (A12) and salmon (F23).
- Iron. Cover the pattern with ironing paper, iron on medium heat without steam. Move in small circles for 10 to 20 seconds until the beads fuse. Let it cool under a book so your piece stays flat.

Does this pattern work with Hama mini or Artkal beads?
Yes. The codes are MARD codes, and our 2.6mm beads are compatible with Artkal mini beads. You can also use Hama mini beads (2.5mm): the grid stays the same, the result is just slightly smaller (about 9 × 8.5 cm).
Is this pattern suitable for beginners?
Better for an intermediate level. The design is small, but it has 13 colours with lots of small touches. Once the outline is in place, it comes together quickly. Allow about 1 h 35 min of placing.
