This one’s a firm favourite with my own kids: a round little snail with an orange-and-yellow spiral shell, topped with two perky antennae that give it such a curious look. It’s a great pattern for beginner bead-crafters, with nice, compact blocks of colour.

On the grid, each square is one bead on your pegboard. I’d start with the shell, ring by ring from the centre outward, then move on to the olive-green body, finishing up top with the little antennae.

When ironing, make sure the whole board is covered with baking paper and press evenly: the shell, being denser with beads, warms up a touch more slowly than the body. Once it’s cooled and popped off the board, this little snail makes a sturdy keychain or a cute fridge magnet.
