Frequently asked questions

No. Products described as PDFs or digital downloads do not include beads, pegboards, tools, stems, or a finished flower. Review the product page's format and included-files list before checkout.

Published paid tutorials open on Gumroad. Gumroad handles checkout and private digital delivery. Use the email address entered at checkout to access the receipt and download.

The Pattern 3.0 page provides a complete 300 dpi chart with MARD codes, a color legend, and component quantities. Other product pages may show previews, but a preview is not the complete paid file.

Check the receipt and the email address used at checkout first. If the issue remains, email Bead Blossom with the product name, checkout email, receipt reference if available, and a description or screenshot of the error. Do not send payment-card details.

The public page explains the workflow so you can judge the difficulty and materials. Full-size charts, exact color references, complete photographs, and detailed troubleshooting remain in the purchased PDF.

Use the size listed on the individual project page. The sizes require different pegboards and produce different finished dimensions. Do not substitute one size for the other without rebuilding and testing the pattern.

Only after testing. Brands can differ in diameter, height, finish, color, and melting behavior. Mixing beads with different heat response can create weak joins or uneven surfaces, even when the colors look similar.

Petals are fused with enough flexibility left for shaping, then curved or cupped while warm and held until cool. The exact motion and assembly order depend on the project.

Common causes include uneven heat, overfusing, moving a piece after it has cooled too far, or forcing a tight curve. Test the iron and shaping method on spare beads, then make smaller adjustments while the component is safely warm.

Placing beads may be suitable with supervision, but ironing, handling warm plastic, using adhesive, and cutting wire require an attentive adult. Follow the manufacturers' safety instructions for every tool and material.

No. Bead shades can vary by brand, product line, screen, and manufacturing batch. Listed codes are project references; compare the actual beads under your working light before committing to a full set of components.

Yes. Bead Blossom free resources and purchased tutorials may be used for personal projects and gifts, subject to any product-specific license included with the download.

Small-batch sales of physical items you personally make are permitted when Bead Blossom Studio is credited as the pattern designer, unless the product-specific terms say otherwise.

No. Do not upload, forward, copy, translate, trace, resell, or redistribute the pattern, tutorial, photographs, or downloadable files. Purchasing a file does not transfer the underlying intellectual-property rights.

No automatic permission is granted for mass production, wholesale manufacturing, classroom handouts, course files, or commercial redistribution. Contact the studio with the exact project, intended use, quantity, audience, and territory to discuss written permission.

You may share photographs of a flower you made. Credit Bead Blossom Studio as the pattern designer when the project uses a Bead Blossom pattern, and do not include a readable chart or enough tutorial pages to reconstruct the paid file.
