Hama bead pattern maker
In short: Make a Hama bead pattern from a photo or drawing using the real Hama midi colour numbers (H01 white, H18 black and so on). Every square becomes one bead; the list shows how many of each colour you need and how many 29×29 square pegboards to lay out. Works offline once loaded and nothing is uploaded. Free: unlimited on-screen patterns, colour key, materials list and PNG chart download. PDFs up to 60×60 are always free, plus your first full-size PDF; after that a larger print-ready PDF is $2.99 per photo, or $7.99 for 30 days of unlimited PDFs.
