Skull Rose

cool rose with a skull inside

This pattern uses a 39 × 52 bead grid with 1,078 beads and 13 listed colors. It is marked as Medium difficulty.

How-To: Start by placing the heavy black outline. Since the flower petals use many different colors like pink, purple, and orange, sort your beads beforehand to keep track of the color transitions. Use tweezers to safely place the red beads inside the dark eye sockets.
Use Case: This unique design makes an excellent Halloween desk display or a striking piece of wall art when glued to a canvas backing.

What size pegboard works best for this project?

A single standard large square interlocking pegboard will easily fit this medium-sized design.

How should I iron the thin stem area?

Iron the stem very carefully and evenly on both sides to prevent the narrow lower section from snapping or bending.
