Red Apple

I always start my beginner workshops with a fruit pattern, and this one is a favorite: round, colorful, and quick to put together! One square equals one bead: lay down the big red circle first, add the bright pink highlight on the side for a bit of depth, then finish with the brown stem and the little green leaf on top. It’s a great pattern for practicing how to keep your pegboard flat before ironing, with no bead sticking out. Once it’s done, this little apple makes a cute kitchen magnet, or you can string a few together for a fruity garland in a kid’s room. Simple, sweet, and always a hit with little ones just starting out with fuse beads.
