Keep the iron moving in circles β never park it in one spot. Cover with parchment paper, iron one side, flip carefully, iron the other.
Fuzzy look? Iron slightly less on the pegboard side, then texture with a towel while still warm.
Colors & Technique: Lighthouse
Color planning comes first on the Lighthouse pattern: sort your White and Crimson stock before you start, because those two shades alone account for the majority of the 576-bead count across 9 colors. The 24Γ24 layout means each pegboard row takes roughly 3-4 minutes once you hit a rhythm. Iron both sides and press under a book while cooling so the finished piece stays flat for framing or magnets.
Where It Shines
Where does the Lighthouse pattern fit in a real collection? Its 24Γ24 footprint and 576-bead count place it in the display tier: too detailed for a first project, but a satisfying second or third build. The deep dark lead color and 7-color span mean one mid-size jar of each shade covers it with leftovers. Group it with other 3d designs on a pegboard wall or shadow box for a rotating exhibit.

Ironing Tips
- π‘Medium heat only β too hot and the beads over-melt and lose shape; too cool and they won't fuse.
- π‘Keep the iron moving in slow circles β staying in one spot melts that area flat.
- π‘Iron both sides and press under a heavy book while cooling to keep it flat.
