- 9 colours
- 46 × 47 grid

A retro, video-game style ghost dressed in vertical bands of sapphire, sky blue, white, mustard and tomato red. The black background makes the colours pop and turns it into a lovely square picture to frame or display on a shelf. The large solid bands make placing the beads steady and almost meditative.

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 9 colours and exact quantities already filled in: check, adjust if needed, then add to cart. Some colours are only used for a few beads, such as D15 (4 beads), B23 (1 bead): for those, the second button is the more economical choice.
How to make the rainbow ghost 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 9 colours in the pattern (H07, H02, F03, C10, C08, A08, B05, D15, B23), a 52 × 52 pegboard, bent-tip tweezers, ironing paper and an iron.
- Start with the ghost, band by band: sapphire (C08), sky blue (C10), white (H02), mustard (A08) and tomato (F03). Place it with bent-tip tweezers, following the grid row by row. The vertical bands are easy to follow column by column and give the ghost its shape right away.
- Fill the large areas. Place the black background (H07) all around the ghost, row by row.
- Add the details. Finish with the small touches: lime green (B05), indigo (D15) and taupe (B23).
- 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.
