Pick a zone, pick a bead

Tap a zone (or the template itself), then pick from the 32 standard bead colors or a custom one, snapped to the bead you'd actually buy — the template above, the chip and the materials list all update together.

Bead canvas the pattern itself — repaint any bead

Make it yours, bead by bead

The board opens as the emperor dog itself, every color area where it belongs. Pick a color, then click — or drag in any of the eight directions — and the brush carries it along your stroke. Turn on Mirror and every stroke lands on both halves of the board at once, so symmetric designs repaint in half the time. The eraser wipes beads back to white, Clear all empties the whole board, and the list below always counts exactly what's on it.

How to make the Emperor Dog

  1. Print or load the template. The zone letters in the blank template match the zone list above — every bead knows which zone it belongs to.
  2. Pull the beads. White ×301, Dark Spruce ×247, Cheddar ×202, Lemon ×167, Pastel Yellow ×28 — that's 945 beads for the reference colors, plus a few spares if you're customizing.
  3. Place by zone. Work one zone at a time on a 40×38 area of your pegboard; the letters keep you oriented even if you invent your own palette.
  4. Iron both sides. Ironing paper over the beads, medium heat, no steam, 20–30 seconds per side, then weight it under a book while it cools.
