Star Perler Bead Pattern
Two interwoven ribbons—deep purple and mint—trace a large hollow star with five long points, preserving the photographed color handoffs and open central field.

Making notes
Follow each purple-and-mint crossing in order; rotating or reflecting the lattice changes the ribbon sequence. Keep column 21 blank.
Two interwoven ribbons—deep purple and mint—trace a large hollow star with five long points, preserving the photographed color handoffs and open central field. The editable 21×21 result contains 147 occupied cells across 2 source roles.
Follow the purple arm from the upper point through the left and right diagonals. Thread the mint path through its alternating crossings, then inspect the bottom point and both side tips. Use row 6, the fullest row at 16 occupied positions, as a horizontal recount anchor. The lattice is 20 columns wide inside a 21-cell square with one blank right column. Ribbon crossings swap color by position, so a rotational shortcut would be incorrect. Occupied bounds run from row 1 to row 21 and column 1 to column 20.
Pattern layout and bead count
The occupied motif measures 20×21 and is normalized to 21×21 with 1 right. No occupied cell is cropped, scaled, mirrored or moved. The 147-bead chart fits one standard 29×29 square pegboard. This framing protects the pentagram braid geometry. Checkpoints: First occupied row 1: U C15. Confirm the pentagram braid entry point. Fullest row 6 contains 16 occupied cells; compare its complete left-to-right sequence before fusing. Use it as the pentagram braid span audit. Rarest role Mint Ribbon occurs 68 times at R6C5, R6C6, R6C7, R6C8, R6C9, R6C12, R6C13, R6C14…. Recheck this role beside the pentagram braid landmark. Padding audit: 1 right; active bounds are R1–R21 and C1–C20. The pentagram braid boundary must remain inside those limits.
Ways to customize this pattern
For an alternate edition, recolor Purple Ribbon, Mint Ribbon as separate value roles while leaving every occupied coordinate and 21×21 normalization unchanged. Keep the silhouette-specific landmarks and rare accents distinct at thumbnail size.
Sort the source roles as 79 Purple Ribbon, 68 Mint Ribbon. Keep Mint Ribbon distinct even though it contributes only 68 cells; Brand remapping should preserve the same light-to-dark hierarchy and never merge an occupied role with background.
Print and iron checklist
The hollow center leaves each arm comparatively narrow. Heat along complete ribbon runs, reinforce crossings without flattening holes, and lift with support beneath all five points. Inspect narrow joints from the reverse before mounting or exporting a replacement chart. Before export, verify the 21×21 coordinates, 147-bead total and all 2 active color roles against the on-page material list.
Project ideas for Purple Wish Star
The woven star suits a wish-board token, dance-recital decoration or two-color coordination exercise. A clear backing across the hollow center stabilizes every point. Keep labels, dates and explanatory text on a separate backing so the approved silhouette stays unchanged.
The source grid uses U and the other design symbols only as internal color roles. The interactive chart replaces them with the selected manufacturer codes, while its material list combines any roles that map to the same bead color.
