These butterfly fuse bead patterns are big. Every one of the 21 butterflies measures 128 beads across its open wings and between 70 and 109 beads from top to bottom, and a single butterfly takes 5,691 to 8,482 beads. All of them face the viewer with wings spread flat, a dark outline and curled antennae, and most have rows of dots along the wing edges; what changes is the color story and the motif inside the wings.
Twenty-one color stories
- Pinks and reds: Rose Heart (hearts on the forewings), Peach Blossom (flowers), Cherry Bow (bows), Strawberry Wings (pink and red with leaf-green patches), Pink Opal, Pastel Rainbow and Rose Velvet. Several sit close together in color, so if you are making a group, mix in a blue or yellow one.
- Oranges and yellows: Honey Apricot, Coral Sunset, Marigold Glow, and Lemon Cloud in yellow with sky-blue drops.
- Blues and purples: Sky Ribbon, Blue Daisy, Midnight Sapphire in navy with crescent moons, Lilac Moon with swallowtails, Frost Pearl in icy blue and lilac, and Lavender Sugar.
- Greens: Mint Pearl with peacock-style eyespots, Meadow Daisy in olive with white daisies, Pistachio Petals, and Seafoam Lace, the shortest of the set at 70 rows.
How big they come out
With standard 5 mm fuse beads such as Perler, 128 beads is about 25.2 inches (64 cm) across, and the tallest butterflies reach about 21.5 inches. With 2.6 mm mini beads, the width drops to about 13.1 inches (33 cm). Either way you’ll need several pegboards joined together. Perler is another company’s brand, and Doodlora Studio is not affiliated with it or with any other bead maker.
Original charts and placement tiles
The set gives you two kinds of chart. The original construction charts, as one large PNG and one SVG per butterfly, show the whole design with a code from P01 to P24 in every cell. They are for reading on screen or printing as an overview, and they don’t print at bead size.
The placement PDFs are the ones that do. They cut each butterfly into numbered tiles that print at 5 mm or 2.6 mm spacing, first in color and then repeated in black-and-white letters. Each tile names its exact column and row range. Print at 100% with fit-to-page off, check the 50 mm line on the first page, trim each tile at the grid edge and butt the next range against it without overlapping. The Read-Me warns that not every mini board uses exactly 2.6 mm spacing, so measure yours.
About the 24 colors
Each butterfly lists 24 shades by letter (A to X, matched to P01 to P24) with a HEX value and a bead count, and the codes restart with every design. Many of those shades are only a hair apart: Rose Heart Butterfly alone has five creams running from #FEE6C7 to #FEEED2. The Read-Me says the HEX values are screen references, not any maker’s color numbers, so expect to cover a few neighboring codes with the same bead color. An adult should handle the iron, and the small parts aren’t for children under 3.
Questions
- How many pages do I print for one butterfly?
- Only that butterfly's tiles, in one mode. At 5 mm pitch a butterfly takes 20 tiles (15 for Seafoam Lace, Lemon Cloud and Rose Velvet), each covering 32 by 32 cells. At 2.6 mm pitch every butterfly fits on 6 tiles of 64 by 64 cells.
- Has anyone made these?
- Not as far as the files say. The Read-Me notes that physical printing, board fit and fusing have not been tested, so print one tile and check it against your board before printing the rest.
