Pixel Playroom is a set of 30 fuse bead patterns made from the furniture of retro games, and every design in it is original. There are four controllers, three pocket handhelds, two arcade cabinets, a heart with a battery and a winged heart, two tokens, two treasure chests, a short sword, two shields, two mushrooms, two star flowers, three word badges and five small monsters invented for the set, Moss Byte, Coral Crawler, Plum Puff, Amber Hopper and Circuit Sprout.
Six colors for every design
The whole set is drawn in one palette: navy, teal, coral, ivory, amber and plum, lettered A to F the same way in every chart. Each design uses four to six of them, so those six colors cover the whole book. Page 4 of every PDF adds up one of everything at 14,551 beads. Navy is the largest share at 4,549, since it outlines nearly every shape.
From a 144-bead sword to a 1,004-bead handheld
The smallest pattern is 16 Prism Blade, a teal sword with a gold crossguard, at 144 beads. The largest by count is 06 Coral Pocket Pod, a square handheld with a screen and three buttons, at 1,004. The widest designs span 34 pegs, which is 6.69 in (170 mm) on 5 mm beads and 3.48 in (88.4 mm) on 2.6 mm mini beads. Some are long and low, like the 07 Plum Pocket Wing handheld at 6.69 x 2.56 in, and the two arcade cabinets stand tall and narrow. Three designs carry words in block letters: 23 Game Over Badge, and 24 and 25, a rounded badge and a shield that read 1UP.
Two pages per design, eight books
Two pages belong to every design. The first is the placement chart at actual size; the second is an enlarged reading chart with the same letters, meant to be read beside the board rather than set under it. Before you print, turn off Fit, Shrink and any borderless enlargement, print at Actual Size, and measure the 2 in (50.8 mm) line on page 3.
The eight PDFs are one book in eight versions. Choose by paper (US Letter or A4), by bead (medium 5 mm or mini 2.6 mm) and by chart style (colored squares with letters, or black-and-white symbols). The design order and bead counts never change between them.
The color names are descriptions, not maker codes, so match the swatches to the 5 mm fuse beads you already own, such as Perler, or to mini beads. Doodlora has no affiliation with the Perler brand.
The PNG folders
Original-Art holds the 30 color illustrations at their native sizes on white backgrounds, with each one’s pixel size listed in Art-Sizes.txt. They keep shading and highlights that the bead charts simplify, so use them as a picture of the look you’re after. BW-Symbols holds the bead grids themselves as transparent 2,048-pixel symbol charts, handy for reading on a screen. The color bead charts live only in the PDFs. Design-Index.txt repeats every design’s grid size and its count for each of the six colors in plain text.
An adult needs to handle the iron, and small beads should stay away from young children.
