The photo studio creates a bead pattern from your image. It does not automatically include a finished portrait or a material kit. Choose and purchase the beads, pegboards and tools you need separately.

Choose a clear photo with natural light, a simple background and a subject that stands out. Faces should be large enough to see clearly. A larger pattern can help when your photo includes several people or pets.

Match the beads, pegboard and pattern size before you begin. The 2.6 mm and 5 mm ranges need their corresponding pegboards and should not be mixed on one board. Check each product page for its actual size and specification.

Contents vary by product. Check the material list and selected option on the product page for the beads, tools and accessories included. Whether a frame is included is also stated in the selected product's contents.

Start with a simple pattern and work at your own pace. Children should create with an adult present; small beads must be kept away from mouths and young children. An adult must handle the iron and all heated steps. Follow the instructions supplied with your materials and tools.

Orders ship from Tianjin, China. Delivery options, current estimates and return conditions are explained on our Shipping and returns page. Check that page and the information shown at checkout for your destination.

Schools, community projects and individuals in need can apply through DOOUYOU Giving. Applications are reviewed, and support depends on available materials and the project's needs. Submitting an application does not guarantee a donation.

Let the piece cool completely on a flat surface before moving or framing it. Keep it away from prolonged heat and direct sunlight. Check the finished size before choosing a frame, and save your pattern so you can make the memory again.
