Red apple

I wanted this little apple to be an easy, feel-good project you can hand to beginners too. Each square on the grid is one bead: just follow the pattern bead by bead on your square pegboard, starting with the outline to lock in the shape before filling it in. I added a lighter patch near the top for a bit of shine, plus a touch of green for the leaf. Center your pegboard before you iron, and slip a sheet of ironing paper between the beads and the iron to protect it. Once it’s done, it makes the cutest fridge magnet or a sweet little decoration for the kitchen. Simple, but it never fails to make people smile!
