With its golden petals fanning out around a warm brown centre, this sunflower is such a satisfying one to bead. Each square on the grid stands for one bead, so work your way down row by row, placing the centre first and then the petals so you don’t lose your place. The design is beautifully symmetrical, which is a real time-saver for kids: once you’ve beaded one quarter of the flower, just repeat it to finish the other three. Centre the pattern on a standard square pegboard before ironing, and always iron through a sheet of baking paper for a smooth, even finish. Once it’s done, this sunflower makes an adorable fridge magnet or a little sun-catcher to hang by a window, a bit of sunshine all year round.
