Bead count by color
How it works
- Pick a color from the palette, then click (or click-and-drag) cells on the pegboard to place beads.
- A live bead count by color updates below the grid as you paint, so you know exactly how many of each color to pull from your bead stash.
- Download the finished pattern as a PNG to follow while you bead.
FAQ
What size pegboard does this match?
The grid is 20×20 pegs, matching a standard small Perler/Hama pegboard. Design across multiple boards by treating each 20×20 section as one board and noting how they connect.
Does the bead count include colors I haven't used?
No — the tally only lists colors with at least one bead placed, so it stays a genuine shopping/sorting list for your specific pattern rather than the full palette.
Can I export the pattern to follow while I bead?
Yes — "Download pattern PNG" saves a grid image with each pegboard hole drawn to scale, which you can reference on a phone or tablet next to your pegboard, or print.

Graph paper needs manual color-counting by hand; this tallies your bead usage automatically as you design, and exports a clean reference image when you're ready to bead.
