A heart, but make it graphic! I love giving classic shapes a little twist, so here’s this checkerboard heart in two shades of red, so striking on a square pegboard. Follow the grid row by row: each square is one bead, and alternating the two reds builds the checkerboard pattern almost on its own.
My tip: place the heart’s outline first using the guide marks every 5 pegs, then fill in following the color alternation, way easier than counting bead by bead! Iron gently through parchment paper for crisp, clean edges.
Clipped onto a bag, turned into a badge, or stuck on the fridge as a magnet, this little heart always gets noticed. A quick make, perfect for beginners who want a result with real style.
