This 3-page printable PDF includes everything you need to complete the project:

✅ Full pattern layout for 1 large pegboard
✅ Exact bead counts & colors (Perler references included)
✅ Error-proof design so every piece fits together like a 3D puzzle
✅ Detailed wings, legs, antennae, & stinger—all clip on without glue

With over 200 beads in 8 different colors, this little bee is the perfect balance of challenging and beginner-friendly. Whether you’re a fuse bead pro or just buzzing into 3D fuse bead projects for the first time, this pattern makes it simple to build a sturdy, adorable bee straight out of an 8-bit world.

Why choose the printable PDF? Working from a printed pattern instead of guessing from photos or tutorials reduces mistakes—and with a 3D fuse bead project, even one bead out of place can ruin the design. Print the pages, count beads with confidence, and assemble your bee stress-free.
