Bakery Fuse Bead Patterns: 30 Breads, Cakes and Shop Pieces in Two Grid Sizes

Creamy Bakery Shop is a set of 30 fuse bead patterns laid out like a small bakery: bread on the shelves, cakes in the case, drinks on the café menu, the oven and mixer in the back, and the storefront itself. Every design comes in two separate grids, a detailed one for 5 mm beads and a mini one for 2.6 mm beads, and all 30 draw on the same eight colors.

What’s on the shelves

• Golden Breads: butter croissant, cinnamon roll, baguette, a slice of toast with a pat of butter and a smiling face, twisted pretzel
• Little Cakes: strawberry cake slice, cherry cupcake, chocolate cake slice, cream Swiss roll, birthday cake with three candles
• Sweet Treats: caramel pudding, a macaron stack tied with a ribbon, strawberry donut, cookie jar, berry fruit tart
• Cafe Drinks: hot chocolate, a bottle of strawberry milk with a face, lemon tea, berry milkshake, floral teapot
• Baking Tools: mini oven, pink stand mixer, dough with a rolling pin, cookie baking tray, kitchen scale
• Bakery Shop: pastry display case, bread basket, storefront with a striped awning, menu board, gift box

The toast and the strawberry milk are the only two with faces. The last page of the pattern book suggests sets to make together, such as a counter built from the display case, bread basket, menu board and storefront, or a tea table with the teapot, strawberry cake, caramel pudding and lemon tea.

Detailed or mini

The mini grid is not the detailed chart shrunk on the printer. It’s a second, coarser grid of the same picture. The croissant is 68 × 44 beads in the detailed version (1,885 beads) and 44 × 29 in the mini (813 beads), The mini uses well under half the beads and drops some of the fine flaky lines. Detailed designs reach 67 or 68 beads on their longest side; minis run 44 to 51.

On 5 mm beads, a 68-bead side comes to about 13.4 in (34 cm), so plan on joining pegboards if yours are smaller. A mini on 2.6 mm beads ends up roughly 4.5 to 5.2 in (11 to 13 cm) on its long side. Two designs, the baguette and the dough with rolling pin, are marked easy; the other 28 are marked intermediate.

Which pages to print

The 102-page book is for counting, not for laying beads on. Each design gets three pages: a finished preview with its grid size, bead total and color count, a chart with colored numbered squares, and an ink-saving chart that prints the same numbers on white. For a sheet you can match square for square, print the tile book or the mini book at 100% and hold a ruler to the 50 mm (1.969 in) bar at the bottom of the page first. A detailed design is split into four tiles that repeat two rows or columns along each seam, so place those beads only once.

Colors

Only eight shades turn up across the set: dark chocolate, walnut brown, honey tan, ivory, strawberry pink, moss green, baby blue and soft yellow. Each design uses four to eight of them. The numbers 01 to 12 are the set’s own labels (04, 05, 08 and 11 never appear) and are not any bead maker’s color numbers, so choose your nearest beads by eye against the hex values on page 4. The CSV gives every design’s count per color in both grid sizes, which helps when totaling a shopping list.

The detailed charts suit standard 5 mm fuse beads such as Perler, and the mini charts are made for 2.6 mm beads. Perler is not affiliated with Doodlora Studio. The start-here notes say not to mix bead sizes in one piece, to keep small beads away from children under 3, and to have an adult do the ironing.

Questions

Do I need both the detailed and the mini files?

No. Both show the same 30 designs. Use the detailed tiles with 5 mm beads or the mini grids with 2.6 mm beads. The count charts in the main book follow the detailed grid.

How many beads does the whole set take?

The CSV adds up to 85,074 beads for all 30 detailed designs and 38,494 for all 30 minis.
