By far the most colourful of any of the beaded products I've come up with. Before making this, I highly suggest making sure you can actually GET all of the colours required. Like the curtain, this will also take a very large amount of twine. The size of this was mainly chosen to specifically fit the coffee table in my livingroom, or more accuratly cover almost exactly half of it.

The pattern itself is probably the most famous scene from the comic strip, that being the "bar scene". Ridley as the bartender, and Samus and Kraid as the patrons. Ridley quite often joins them in a drink in there.

Some of the colours here have been modified slightly to at least make the number of colours required not as ludicrously high as it could have been. Specifically, the colour of Samus and Kraid's table, and other subtle changes. What you mainly want to look out for before beginning is that you can actually find four different shades of blue. That's the main initial goal.


The pattern:

The template, with Ridley, Kraid, and Samus at the bar, drinks on the table, and the text 'Planet Zebeth, Metroid with a twist' above.

The finished product:

The placemat, in all its glory. A wire is run through the top row with loops on either side, so that it can be hung up that way. A Samus Amiibo is sitting in front of it, barely the size of a floor block. It's about 1/3rd the size of the Samus on the placemat.
