# Chinese Zodiac Perler Bead Patterns

The twelve lunar-year animals for Spring Festival gifts. Western signs are on the zodiac page.

### Can I use these for Lunar New Year?

Yes. The twelve signs are meant for 春节 gifts and décor on a 5mm board. Sort reds and golds from the detail legend.

### Why is a tiger here instead of Animals?

It is a calendar sign. Everyday wildlife lives under Animals; this page follows the twelve earthly branches.

### How is this different from Western zodiac?

Zodiac is sun-sign emblems. This page is lunar-year animals. Both use 5mm midi, but they are not interchangeable.

### Are any Chinese zodiac charts Free?

Some download as PNG. Pro signs preview here and export in the app. A small sign also pairs well with a holiday wreath.

### How should I iron a first sign?

Start at the face or a dark outline. Festival contrast is strong, but neighboring reds and golds still need small iron patches.

This is the official original Bead Pattern catalog, not an unlicensed character dump.

Grids are 5mm midi fuse beads. Perler, Hama, and common pegboards can follow them.
