Size and use

At a nominal 5 mm bead pitch, the occupied outline plans 6.5 x 8.5 cm. This excludes outer blank cells and is not a measured fused-object size.

The opening plans 15 x 15 mm with standard 5 mm Perler beads and 7.8 x 7.8 mm with 2.6 mm MARD beads before ironing. Do not assume the fused opening or a particular ring will have these dimensions.

Attachment window geometry

The opening is rows 3-5, columns 10-12: nine empty cells. The surrounding 7 x 7 frame contains 40 beads and has a two-cell rim.

Hardware and physical checks

  • Rings and chains are separate supplies, not entries in the bead list.
  • After fusing and cooling, inspect the opening, neck and bead joins before adding hardware.
  • These four charts have no load, repeated-pull or fused-opening test; they are not verified durable keychains.

Pattern FAQ

Has the attachment rim been strength-tested?

No. Digital checks cover connected cells, the nine-cell opening and forty-bead frame. Fusing, hole shrinkage and service strength still need a physical sample.
