Autumn Flower Fuse Beads: 12+ Designs to Bloom Your Pegboard This Fall

Fall is settling in, and with it comes that cosy urge to grab the pegboard, a bowl of candy, and a gorgeous line-up of flowers to bead! Today I’m taking you through my imaginary fuse bead garden — golden sunflowers, classic roses, velvety pansies, whole bouquets… Plenty to brighten up your pegboards for the weeks ahead, whether you’re crafting solo or with the kids. Ready to make your workshop bloom?

Fall’s Biggest Stars: Sunflower and Dahlia

The Sunflower, the Sunshine Flower That Sticks Around

We’re starting strong with THE flower that sums up the whole season: the sunflower. Its brown centre ringed with bright yellow petals is a perfect fit for fuse beads — even little hands nail it on the first try. A great one to kick off today’s line-up.

The Autumn Dahlia, a Little Homemade Grid

I couldn’t quite find a dahlia pattern I loved out there, so I made my own: here’s a little homemade grid to follow, with petals fading from orange into brick red and a warm brown-and-gold centre. It’s about twenty-something beads wide — very doable for one cosy evening.

A Classic Flower Garden to Bead

The Rose, Always in Style

Hard to talk flowers without squeezing in a rose! This one, with its leafy stem and red-and-dusty-pink tones, takes a bit longer (you’ll need a rectangular pegboard), but the result is so worth it — perfect for a bedroom wall or slipped into a card for someone you love.

The Pansy, All Velvet

I’m obsessed with the purple gradient on this pansy, with its little yellow-and-orange heart in the centre. Exactly the kind of pattern that makes you want to dig out every purple and mauve bead you own!

The Cornflower, Soft and Sweet

For a break from all those warm autumn tones, here’s a little pop of blue with this round cornflower, all sky-blue and navy shades, with a green stem trailing off to the side. Quick to make and great for beginners.

Bouquets and Bigger Compositions

A Whole Bouquet in Its Vase

Fancy something a bit more ambitious? This one rebuilds a full bouquet sitting in a pretty gradient-green vase — perfect as wall art for a bedroom. Feel free to swap the flower colours for whatever beads you have on hand.

Wildflowers, Finished and Photographed

No grid this time, just a real finished project so you can see the actual result: a purple flower and a yellow-and-white one, sitting side by side like a little meadow. This is exactly the kind of photo that makes me want to grab my iron again!

Today’s Star Flower

This is the one on our cover today: a big six-petal flower in lilac and bright white, with a sunny yellow heart. Really simple to make, yet it looks amazing once hung up in a window.

Stackable Mini Flowers

For the impatient crafters among us (or to use up your leftover beads), these mini flowers each take just a few minutes. Stack a bunch for a garland, or turn them into earrings for the bigger kids!

Decor, Gifts, and Printable Grids

A Retro-Style Graphic Flower

Let’s step away from realism for this one — a rounded, bubble-gum-pink-and-turquoise flower with a real seventies vibe. A fun pick if you want to twist your decor a bit and step outside those purely autumnal tones.

Stained-Glass-Style Coasters

Made on a hexagon pegboard, these two designs built from tiny rosette flowers give a lovely stained-glass effect. Set on a light box or hung in a window, they catch the light beautifully — a sweet homemade gift for the start of fall.

A Ready-Made Printable Grid

Last but not least, a handy bonus: a “hearts and flowers” grid made entirely of little four-petal flowers, ready to print and slide under your hexagon pegboard to follow along as you go. Perfect for a quiet afternoon with the kids.
