Always start with symmetrical designs — they forgive small mistakes. Place the outline first, then fill in. This gives you a reference frame and prevents overflow.
Intermediate level — 1 to 2 boards (29×29 or 58×29)
For creators with a few hours of practice. Duration: 45 min – 2 hours.

For enthusiasts. Duration: several hours to several sessions.
Plaque Hama Midi Standard (assemblable)Multi-board tip
For creations spanning several boards: iron each board individually, then place them side by side and apply gentle pressure with a flat book for 2 minutes so the edges fuse well. Our tool automatically handles splitting the pattern into sections per board.

Beyond classic designs, here are creative ideas to stand out:
Personalised gift: family portrait
Recreate the silhouette of each family member in pixel art. On a 2×2 board (58×58), you can fit 4 characters side by side. Unique and memorable.
Wall decoration: map of your city
Export a satellite image of your neighbourhood, reduce it to black and white and convert it into a pattern. The result in blue and white on a beige background looks stunning framed.
Bead jewellery: earrings and necklaces
With Hama Mini or Artkal Mini beads, create small geometric designs from 8×8 to 12×12. Pierce a hole before ironing to thread a ring through. The result is light and colourful.
