Hi everyone, Léa here! The moment the sunny days roll in, I get a serious craving for colour… and guess what — our little fuse beads are perfect for catching a slice of nature and melting it right onto the pegboard. Today I’ve put together a cheerful selection of more than ten nature-themed designs: bright rainbows, cosy little mushrooms, friendly garden bugs and even a cactus for those of us without green thumbs. Get comfy, grab your beads, and let’s dive in!
A sky full of colour: rainbows and sunshine
Let’s start with the crowd-pleaser everyone loves: the rainbow. Sitting on its two fluffy clouds, this beauty is just made for brightening up a kid’s room or a window. The colours follow in order, which makes it a real joy to lay out.

Fancy something more graphic? The colour-wheel version is perfect for learning to sort your beads in spectrum order — a playful little exercise that’s oh-so satisfying.

And to round it all off, nothing beats a beaming sun. Here’s a simple home-made chart to follow: one square equals one bead, and off you go.
Mushrooms, stars of the forest floor
Ah, mushrooms… they’ve been everywhere for a few seasons now, and honestly, in beads they’re adorable. The all-time classic is the red-and-white spotted toadstool, but you’ll see there’s something for every taste.

My little favourite? The mushroom house — ideal for dreaming up a whole fairy world with the kids. Add a door, a window, and a tiny gnome can move right in.
And for anyone who prefers earthier tones, the woodland-style mushroom brings a lovely autumnal touch to your collection.
Good to know: many of these designs are actually pixel-art or cross-stitch charts. One square equals one bead, so you can follow them exactly as they are on your pegboard — no tricky maths involved.
The little garden critters
Now for the garden dwellers! Butterflies are my absolute favourites: their symmetrical wings are a feast of colour and great practice for beginners wanting to keep their rows nice and neat.

The monarch butterfly, with its deep orange edged in black, really stands out once it’s perched on a shelf or turned into a keyring.
Want a whole tiny population? This sheet gathers a ladybug, a bee, a beetle and friends — plenty to happily fill a rainy afternoon.
And here’s the second batch, with a dragonfly, a snail and a spider for the more adventurous among you.

A touch of green: the little cactus
To finish on a gentle note, a design that barely needs watering: the flowering cactus! Here’s a simple home-made chart to recreate square by square. Perfect for using up your greens and popping a pretty pink flower on top.
Over to you!
And there you have it — more than ten ideas to bring a little nature into your craft corner!
